September (2017) First stage of Camino Portugués
Hi Forum Friends,
I did the 'full' Camino (Whatever that means!)as a solo walker in May 2016 from SJPDP to Santiago and started by using the Napoleon Route to Roncesvalles, overnighting at Orissson. The whole Camino was an exceptional experience.
last year I walked from Roncesvalles to almost Burgos with my wife. On this occasion we stayed almost exclusively in Pensions/Casa Rurals etc with the occasional stay in a private room in Albergues. I enjoyed it, but felt I missed out on the camaraderie that I experienced on my first Camino staying in Albergues the majority of nights.
I'm going back solo again this Sep/Oct and have only a fortnight. So I plan on walking from SJPDP to Burgos staying in albergues, but can't make my mind up whether to do the Napoleon route again or opt for the Valcarlos.
All conflicting advice and shared experiences welcome!
I think about Camino most days when I'm not there doing one! If you have an itch you have to scratch it!!
Already counting off the weeks and days
Buen Camino
