Sanabres spring 2024
I have walked the Camino Frances from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela twice, once in the spring of 2016 and again in the autumn of 2017. I would like to return to Spain and make a long walk...TomNorth said in another post, “I'm returning because it's there... and it's calling me... and I need to go walk.“ not sure when I'll be able to do this due to work-related committments, maybe autumn 2019 or spring 2020.
I may walk the Via de la Plata from Sevilla to Zamora then the Camino Sanabres via Ourense to Santiago de Compostela. I expect this to be much more solitary a walk than the Camino Frances, especially the last 100 kilometers from Ourense to Santiago compared to Sarria to Santiago.
Another idea is to customize my own Camino route. An idea floating around would be to walk from SJPdP to Pamplona, then take the Camino Viejas route to somewhere close to Ponferrada, somehow get to Astorga instead of Ponferrada, then walk south towards Zamora, and at (I think) Montemarta, turn northwest and cover the Camino Sanabres to Ourense and on to Santiago de Compostela. This would certainly avoid the Camino Frances crowds. But would this be at all practical? [I do realize that "practical" is a very relative term...]
Buen Camino,
