As I've said before I'm planning to walk the Camino at the end of May 2007.
But after having read several postings (also on other boards) it sounds like the Camino is suffering under its own success? Too many people, the 'fights' over the beds, having to start your day very early so you're at the hostels before the others, the mountain bikers being somewhat of 'rowdies', etc ...
I've got a tendency to worry too much, I know
So, how was it last year? Or, if you're walking the Camino right now, how is it this year??
And what would alternatives be? The Northern Camino? Is its infrastructure as good the Camino Frances? What would be the 'advantages' of each one?
I really want to meet people while walking but I'd also like the have time for my own, to reflect, to think, etc ... And I don't want to be in a sort of competition to race to each hostel ...
Any insights or comments are greatly appreciated
