Hello Friends -
Earlier this year I walked the Camino Frances (with a start in Pamplona) and truly loved the experience, so much that I am considering another Camino in April/May of the coming year (I suspect the VDLP). I am wondering about my motivations however, and if doing another one so soon will prove disappointing.
So, I am curious to hear from those that have walked multiple caminos, especially within a year of one. What motivated you? Did you find the second attempt to be less enjoyable?
Thanks!
Only one way to find out - walk another Camino and see what happens ( I suspect it will not be your last).Hello Friends -

I walked my second Camino one year after the first. Even though the same route, it was different. Not better but not worse.Hello Friends -

I wanted to have similar adventures, personal revelations and experiences along the way. That I got on the Portugese from Lisbon but in a completely different way. I went in with no expectations and allowed what was unfolding to happen. It was a totally different Camino than the Frances but brilliant in every way. Then I walked the Norte. Have to admit it was the best yet. Looking to plan another on another route. Thanks for asking.Hello Friends -

During the first week of our first camino, we thought we must have lost our minds to be doing this. We also wondered how could anyone rational walk more than one. But when we finished in Santiago, we couldn't wait to do another. Now with 8 camino paths behind us and another already scheduled for next year, I can tell you that the magical mystical so very human if not primordial experience that a camino offers in these modern times continues to refresh body, mind and soul. Buen camino and ultraia, my fellow pellegrino!Hello Friends -

The second one will be different but for me at least as enjoyable. Less worried about stuff, will I manage, will I make it etc. I have now done 5 and am planning to do the Frances next year to celebrate my 70th.Hello Friends -

Your memories and the willingness to share them is what makes you such a cherished and valued member of this community. Many thanksAs for myself

Perhaps the first post of my last camino explained best why I walked the Camino Frances ten times; thus although my situation has changed while I was able to walk it served as my apologia.
Unfortunately now at 83 I am only able to walk long distances in my memory.
...there is a place were you stand and look around 360 degrees and there is nothing but sky and grass not a soul, just heaven and earth, that feeling is what makes me come back.Addiction to open spaces, the sound of the wind, the feeling you get when you
have snow for breakfast, hail for lunch and rain for dinner, the sound of your shoes filled with rain water, In the camino the Madrid there is a place were you stand and look around 360 degrees and there is nothing but sky and grass not a soul, just heaven and earth, that feeling is what makes me come back, I can close my eyes and just remembering, the hairs in my arm just shoot up... oh well, see you there in the spring ;-)
I really appreciated your comments. We have put off walking the Via Podiensis but are committed to walking it next September. You have raised our spirits.I have walked 7 Camino’s and it is the people that draw me back every time , each one is so different .
my favourite walk is the Le Puy Via Podiensis , it’s sheer beauty and the wonderful medieval towns you pass through, surpass all others in my view, hence the reason I am taking it on again next May. Tough walk but worth it!!!
Wow! Brings back memories. We loved the Meseta on the Camino Frances and were so excited to have a good stretch of that on the Camino Madrid. It did not disappoint us. We loved that feeling you described so well.Addiction to open spaces, the sound of the wind, the feeling you get when you

Check out the Primitivo or the Invierno. You can’t go wrong, both gorgeous in the Spring!I would like to walk in the spring, and possibly for 2 weeks rather than a month-plus. Suggestions?
Everyone will have their own answers for you; they don't matter. Rather, ask yourself why you are considering a second Camino. For me, it has become part of a balanced lifestyle, no different than someone who plays tennis (over and over again - what's with that?!), or goes to the symphony more than once in their life. I walk because I enjoy it. I suspect your real concern is that you will not feel the same way about your second as your first. All repeat offenders know that there is only ONE first-time for everything. But that doesn't mean that the second, third or fourth time aren't pretty good too. And just like tennis, it's not only enjoyable, but good for you as well.So, I am curious to hear from those that have walked multiple caminos, especially within a year of one. What motivated you?

I've walked the VDLP three times now and love it so it would be a good choice. IMOHello Friends -

I've walked multiple Caminos, but haven't yet had them within a year of each other (although I'm hoping that will be the case in 2023).So, I am curious to hear from those that have walked multiple caminos, especially within a year of one.

An addiction that is good for you - for your spiritual, mental, and physical health - AND - one that doesn't break the bank if you plan according to your budget ability. Where else can I spend a month or more on a vacation and spend less than $2000 (not including airfare - and come back physically and mentally stronger than when I left?It’s one of the few addictions which is actually good for you.
Short answer - no. It will be different though. Have you thought about your third? You will.Hello Friends -

But if you had just walked 20k it would taste even better than the first.If you really like a Magnum almond. Would a next one taste good as well? Probably, although it might 'taste' different than the first one, it might not taste any less.
After 20K your avatar would taste good as well.But if you had just walked 20k it would taste even better than the first.
You'll have to explain that one to me Chrissy!
I have walked two camino Frances and loved them both, but I have since branched out to four others and they are all delightful. If you are "thinking" of a different one...just do it. You will not be disappointed!I'm thinking about doing my second this year too and did ask myself a similar question. However I met so many people on the Camino Frances last time who were walking for the second, third, fourth, even one guy his eleventh time and every one of them said it was never the same camino because of the people, and the things you see that you just passed by the last time. Each is it's own special pilgrimage!
I big redraw card for me I think is the opportunity to totally unplug and be alone when I want to.
Having my only job for the day being to walk works wonders for me.
