Wonderful! Thanks for your post.I guess I took a different path from Sarria to Santiago because...
...the trail was practically empty
...the albuerges all had room, even when we arrived after 5pm
...the public alburgues were especially unfolded, including the one in Ligonde that we had completely to ourselves
...I didn’t see the scammers, thieves, and crass commercialism that is supposed to thrive on the last 100km
...it didn’t rain
...the few tour groups I saw were full of infectious joy, reminding me of the excitement of starting the Camino journey
...the 10am Sunday mass had room for all, there was no entry line, and the butofumierro “flew”
...the line for my Compostela was less than an hour, a drop in the bucket compared to 41 days of walking
Perhaps it’s not the path you physically walk that makes the journey, but the mindset in which you walk. My last 100km was phenomenal

Just checking, C clearly: is there a note of incredulity here? I do understand, given all the tales of choc a bloc!Sounds great! But out of interest, when did you walk it?
No - I didn't intend incredulity at all. However, the date of walking is quite significant, in order to put the information in context.Just checking, C clearly: is there a note of incredulity here?

Thank you for your positive feedback and information about the last 100 KM . I
Am a newbie , 66 years old and was getting a little worried about “the commercialism” comments and too many people on the trail. I will be doing as Bill Bennett says in his book “the pussy walk “. The last 100 Km, where my bag is sent on ahead and staying in 2 or 3 star hotels. It may not be what is the real prigrim way but for me I want the contemplative walk, experience the countryside, towns, people and food — so it will be for me “the Way - my way”. I am excited and stating to train now and appreciate all the expert advise. Thank you .
