I am from Canada, Anemone. Last summer I went all across Newfoundland. I also spent some time in Gros Morne and hiked the mountain there. It it was one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. Go to Newfoundland if you can!
Thanks for the kind words :)
I totally get it. Every time I've been in the mountains I feel clear. It's hard to explain. Just a peace you can't find everywhere.

Ya, it could very well be because of the movie that I feel I'd be missing out by doing the Primitivo. I guess the bonus of taking that route is that I could go to Finnistere(?).
Hey again, Kinky One. I did read about that. Interesting stuff.
I just don't wanna feel like I'm "missing out" by doing the Primitivo. Maybe I'm being foolish in thinking that way.
My title may be convey a competition between the two, however that was not my intention.
I originally was planning the Frances for my first Camino. The time may simply be too long and I want to be at the start and finish - no parts of routes.
If I were to do the Camino Primitivo, am I missing...
