I will be travelling alone, but I'm hoping to meet other people on the way. Because it being in october I think for me CdF is the best way to go.
I'm young, fit, and quite a fast walker.
I think I would walk the Portuguese Camino from Porto.
I would always recommend the first Camino to be France's despite how long it takes!
I'm hoping to meet other people

start at the beginning, finish the other half some other time?
would another route be more fulfilling, even though chances are it'll be way less populated, especially in october?
Fender, it is all waiting for you. Given that you posted this in the Frances thread, I think you have perhaps answered your own question. I see you live in Europe, so it will not be a huge investment to return to finish if you do set out on the Frances. While you do have your life ahead of you, you have to choose something now. Once you do that, only look back to admire the view.Hi all!
I'm planning to walk my first camino in mid-late october, and I have two weeks of time. Because of only having two weeks, I'm struggling to find a good route, and I'm hoping you could guide me to find one.

Or start at the beginning, finish the other half some other time? Or would another route be more fulfilling, even though chances are it'll be way less populated, especially in october? I'm young, fit, and quite a fast walker.
Thank you for your help!
Be well,

I am walking the Camino Frances starting at SJPP starting 10/5 for 2 weeks. Its the first time for me, too. I plan on ending at Burgos on 10/18. Perhaps we can meet if you decide to do the Frances and the dates work out.Hi all!

Indeed it will but something to consider, you sound like your suited to the mountains and you'll miss the majesty of the Pyrenees, the serenity of the Meseta and you'll be meeting other Pilgrims who have been walking together for weeks and formed their camino families. If your focus is too have a beginning, middle and end consideration might be starting at Sarria, similar to majority of Pilgrims, obtaining Compestela in Santiago, walking to Muxia to Finisterre (vice-versa) and walking backwards towards Santiago then when you have a month to spare in future can return to walk the 500 miles and get the full body/mind/soul experienceStarting in Leon will give me plenty of time to get to SdC, and in case I have some extra time I can continue until Finisterre.

Consider this a good thing, it suggests either your building your career or building towards a career. I thought the same and when I least expected I heard about the Camino, dropped everything, purchased one way ticket and it wasn't a case of wanting to walk it, some of us and someday you might need to walk it. We all have are reasons but for me it was to find clarity. I'm now addicted and starting my fourth at end of this month and don't think I would have gained the same clarity had I not have started in SJPdPAlso, I'm afraid I wont have a spare 3,5 or 4 weeks laying around anytime the coming years, sadly.
Thank you for this, I think I needed to hear it.Many pilgrims start from Leon. It is a beautiful and challenging and varied walk from there, and for the amount time you have available it is an excellent choice. Don't let anyone/anything dampen your enthusiasm. Buen camino.
