- Time of past OR future Camino
- 2023
Hmm...after 6 different Camino routes and 3,000 km (+/5 kms ) I really thought I was done. My last Camino on the Portugués route was my toughest...cobblestones, rain, shoe/sock mistakes resulted in painful blisters and I decided that was it! Never again!
Well...maybe not. I have an opportunity in May 2020 to rejoin a Brazilian friend (from the Frances Camino and Portugués Camino) for a short 14 day walk.
Right now the choice is between Via Francigena (from San Gimignano) or the Camino Primitivo (Ovedio) both roughly 320 kms.
Looking at the Sloways app for the Via Francigena route the avg daily ascent is 325 metres and avg daily descent 350 metres so outside of a few clearly tougher days seems quite reasonable.
I have the Wise Pilgrim app for the Camino Primitivo and would like to get an avg daily ascent and descent for comparison purposes however I can’t seem to get at these. Would appreciate any help with this.
I am quite sure the Camino Primitivo will have on average more difficult days however would like to better understand this.
As always I welcome any thoughts from Forum members on which route they preferred if they have walked both...or any other suggestions...
Meanwhile I have to start thinking about packing...only 10 months away .
Thanks
