[QUOTE="Telelama, post: 422867, member: 39734"] I can only speak to our route, but yes. In comparison to the Frances, there are far more large cities. I mean a LOT more. Very few albergues that we saw had a connected restaurant/bar with a commons area to gather after the day's walk. Most folks disappeared into one of many local bars to get a beer and something to eat after getting their clothes hung on the clothes line. There didn't seem to be that desire to share dinner with your fellow pilgrims when there was a restaurant. At one point there were a group of two over there, three over here and us. My wife and I went to each table and asked if they wanted to share a dinner table. They all said yes and we often did it going forward, and obviously people wanted to, but it didn't come natural like on the Frances. IMHO, for what you are seeking, I would walk either a section of the Frances, but avoid the last 100km or look at the Norte and/or Primitivo. Fewer pilgrims on those, but fewer big cities. Trade offs... [/QUOTE]
