Hi, NicoX,
Welcome to the forum, and I wish you a really wonderful second Camino. I have to say that you may not find that the route you have chosen is "more lonesome." The crowds on both the Primitivo and Norte are increasing rapidly. Of course, the total numbers are not anywhere near the numbers on the Francés, but in high season you may find something slightly resembling a low level bed race on certain stages of the Primitivo and Norte. If things are looking too crowded when you start out on the Norte, you have two ways to detour off onto two beautiful alternatives -- from San Vicente de la Barquera, you can go on the Lebañiego, then onto the Vadiniense, and into León. OR, from Bilbao, you can take the Camino Olvidado into Ponferrada (and from there go on to the Invierno, which is beautiful and definitely "more lonesome"). I have walked these routes, and met very very few others, but the walks themselves are perfect. Well marked, terrific scenery, some beautiful mountain sections... Buen camino, Laurie
