- Frances/Invierno May/June 2018
Flying into Paris on May1st and starting the Frances May 2nd. Can't wait!
I'm a fairly solitary walker and really value alone time for introspection/meditation, but am also looking forward to meeting fellow pilgrims, particularly at the conclusion of the day's walk. That said, the more I read about how busy the way gets after Sarria, I'm favouring a detour onto the Camino Invierno after Ponferrada.
Question for those who have walked the Invierno: What will I gain by taking this detour besides blessed solitude? I've heard it's a couple extra days which is fine. Is it equally beautiful?
Question for those who continued on the Frances through Sarria: What will I miss if I detour off of the Frances? i.e. what are your most cherished highlights between Ponferrada and Santiago on the CF?
Thanks!
Peter
