[QUOTE="dick bird, post: 976052, member: 93571"] I get that. The first time I joined the Francés at Melide (the Primitovo was quieter then) i thought a football match had just ended and it was very confronting to see literally crowds. But after a while, I got to like it. I enjoyed the feeling of being part of this vast flow of humanity. As for trying to predict when there will be fewer people, I think that is futile. Experience on long caminos has taught me that the waves come and go with no rhyme or reason. Crowd behaviour is a very inexact science and trying to dodge the surge is probably not worth the effort. Just take it as it comes. [/QUOTE]
