15 days, 26-year-old solo pilgrim: which camino?

Hi everybody,

I'm planning to go on my first Camino this summer for 15-16 days. I am 26 years old, fairly fit, I speak Spanish fluently and I'll be going alone. I am not looking for a spiritual experience, but only a nice alternative holiday.

I've been reading a lot of material, but I am still quite undecided about which Camino to take (Frances/del Norte/Primitivo). What I expect from this vacation is to:

• meet other travelers, possibly around my age. I might like to walk alone from time to time, but it would be nice to spend time with others, and have company in the afternoon and evening.
• walk more on trails than paved roads, let alone next to the traffic
• have pleasant temperatures, not so hot that it won't prevent me from enjoying the walk.
• not be obsessed by bed bugs
• not be obsessed by having to wake up before sunrise and rush to the next destination to find an available bed
• sleep on beds (no mats, sleeping bags, etc)
• go through enough villages to be able to eat or drink before reaching the destination

I will be landing in Madrid and from there I thought I would start my camino in Léon (Frances), Gijon (Norte) or Oviedo (Primitivo).

My main concern is that in the Frances I would be overwhelmed by people, while in the other two it would end up being a solitary holiday. And, in the Primitivo, also difficult to find accommodation.

Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your reply. Is it difficult to meet people? I was told it was extremely easy, in such a way (I thought) that I could easily meet new people pretty often and, if I wanted, go at my own pace.
