Buen camino, @JanusDT !Thanks everyone for the replies. I made up my mind and will finish with the Frances. Primitivo perhaps for another day.
Janus, this was exactly my thought too. You still have a few days to mull it over before you reach Ponferrada.If you are still wanting solitude when you get to Ponferrada, you can always take a left fork and walk to Santiago on the Invierno. It's much less travelled than the Frances.
That's great to know. Thank you I was not aware of this option.Buen camino, @JanusDT !

That's beautiful! I am hopeful knowWise decision! Finish the Frances! You are almost there and you never know where you will meet someone important--I had started at SJPDP and I met the woman who is now my wife a couple hours after leaving Santiago for Finisterre!
I've experienced both a lot of easy connection and the sense of isolation you describe.Was this different before, and what could explain this change?
Hola,Buen camino, @JanusDT !

That may be a bit of an exaggeration.it seems that a lot of people experiences unchained and agressive dogs on the way
So Janus, what did you decide this morning - which fork in the road did you take, and how did it go?
Those of us stuck at home and living the camino through real-time reporters such as yourself, need to know. Best wishes
I will reach Ponferrada tomorrow and will be facing the same decision, although for different reasons.Currently I am in Ponferrada. I am still working out which way I will go tomorrow. The idea of taking the Invierno scares me and excites me at the same time. But I dislike the idea of making reservations in advance, which is probably necessary on the Invierno. Especially since I do not speak Spanish
Guess the decision is going to be made tomorrow at the crossing. I will keep you updated.
Aha! OK, well as one of the people who suggested the Invierno originally (along with VNwalking, who I almost always agree wholeheartedly with!) here's my opinion..Currently I am in Ponferrada. I am still working out which way I will go tomorrow. The idea of taking the Invierno scares me and excites me at the same time. But I dislike the idea of making reservations in advace, which is probably necessary on the Invierno. Especially since I do not speak Spanish

Take a look at the forum guide, it hasn’t been updated in a few years but the information is still pretty good. It also gives some good suggestions on different ways to “stage” the Invierno. Actually, an even better suggestion is to go to the App store and download Wise Pilgrim’s Invierno guide. He took our forum guide and did a bunch of updates, added tracks, etc.I didn't have time to do a thorough research on the possible stops on the Invierno and therefore how much longer than the CF it will be. I would really appreciate any tips or ideas!
