Most of us that have done more than one Camino have seen the route of the Camino Frances change in a relatively short period of time.
Some of this has been because of modern development through highway expansion, etc, while other changes are through commercial opportunism, i.e. bringing the route through communities and their pilgrim and hospitality facilities.
I appreciate that we know that the route of the Camino was never cast in stone and in fact may be a projection of the fantasy of the journey.
Does it matter?
I know there is going to be a lot of discussion of how the "journey" is the route but in a traditional sense, should there be some historical integrity?
Just asking -
