Hi there, I have been having an incredible time walking the Camino Del Norte and Primitivo. I was unfortunate enough to catch Covid while walking the Camino Primitivo. I immediately stopped and rested up for a week in Fonasgrada (~150km from Santiago). I am continuing to rest and recover at a friend’s place in A Coruña (1hr north of Santiago) for an additional week. I feel energised and ready to start walking again in a few days time.
The dilemma I have now is that I am not sure what route to do. I can continue back on the Camino Primitivo where I left off from, getting a bus to Fonasgrada and walking from there, though I will need to reassess my fitness level as I walk (after Covid). Is this last section a nice part of this Camino? Could I use this situation as an opportunity to change to another Camino completely? Could I do the Finisterre and Muxia route instead? If I decided to do the latter, would I be able to get a distance compostela/certificate to have something stating how far I have come from (Irún on the C.Del Norte). I also have heard there is the option of the Camino Ingles but I think would have too little people on it for me to feel like I am part of a Camino. I am young and reasonably fit (well I think so, not 100% sure after Covid!) and love to meet people in the Albergues or on the track. Let me know your opinions and suggestions, thank you!
