Exactly what I was thinking when I read the OP..........You could even drive through Picos de Europa and see the mountains firsthand, which you will be seeing righthand from CF.
@whariwharangi - the inherent conundrum these two statements present can be resolved by noting that time spent in planned reconnaissance is seldom wasted. Unfortunately, it lacks the punch of the original! What is clear is that exploring without a purpose isn't necessarily going to be fruitful as a reconnaissance, even though it might be a wonderful experience.Time spent doing recce is never wasted. You can waste a lot of time conducting a recce if you don't know what you are reconnoitering.
There is no right or wrong answer the original question, but personally I agree with Rebekah. What you experience in a car will in no way be similar to what you experience on foot. If you just want to whet your appetite, just type "Camino de Santiago" into YouTube or Vimeo -- you'll find hundreds of examples of real walking along the Camino that will present a better picture of what it will be like than trying to imagine it. Even when the road parallels the Camino path and you see pilgrims walking and wonder what it's like, you won't know until you're actually there walking yourself.Listen to your Karma-alarm. Let your lucky holiday be a holiday, and let your pilgrimage be a pilgrimage.
Thomas, I spent my Wonderbread years in Auburn WA and have been in the Tri-Cities for the last 35 years. I've always loved the PNW native art!Great Dane -- I live in Washington State, along Hood Canal on the Olympic Peninsula.
I like NW native art. Such a rich, interesting culture.
