Hi pilgrims on the Frances.
I am walking the Norte now. When I get home I will be giving a little presentation to a few people I know who will walk part of one Camino next September. This is my 4th Camino. This one has replaced Le Puy as the hardest bit it is beautiful. I have met 3 people (today is my 5th day walking) who left the Frances because they said it was crazy busy, loud and with many partying and heavy drinking people. I have to say I walked the Frances 2 times and the second one in 2014 I found it to be too busy but did not experience anything like what these people have said. I also realize that many people who walk the Norte or VDLP, as examples do so because they line more solitude. So their tolerance level for noise and crowds
Is probably a lot lower. It is for me. My friends are in their 40’s and I believe they would benefit from the additional services and more choices of accommodations, and restaurants etc. So is the CF as crowded as they say. One of them started 3 weeks ago. He told me 700 people left SJPP the day he ser out. Are these all just wild exaggerations or are they close to correct? Thanks,
Just want to give them a good idea of CF.
