- Time of past OR future Camino
- unsure still - deciding for August 2015!
Hello All,
My partner and I would like to walk part of the Camino for the first time over 12 days this August. We have been looking over this forum for several weeks, reading lots of wonderful posts and information, but now we seem to be unsure about which path to choose!!
We are very interested in the Santiago to Finisterre walk, so for that reason thought to combine it with about 7 days of walking leading to Santiago. Since some of the paths join the Camino Frances in the end, which we understand will be very crowded in August, we thought of starting with either the last bit of Via de la Plata (starting before Ourense) or the Camino Ingles.
It is difficult to know which to choose....we are both contemplative people and hoping for inspiring scenery and simplicity. We are both in good physical shape however will not have had much time to train for very long walking prior to our journey (so unsure about some very long days I saw as part of the Camino Ingles itinerary). I've also read about very hot August days on VdlP and wondering about that.
Thank you very much for your input! I'll also post this in the Camino Ingles section for feedback.
Cheers,
Mira
