Hello, I've been following the forum for awhile now, but this is my first post.
My girlfriend and I are planning taking a pilgrimage in Europe in August, but we have not decided where. At first, the Camino Frances seemed perfect, but it really seems to be too crowded. We were looking for some holy mixture of natural beauty, culture, and solitude.
Does anyone have advice on pilgrimage routes for us? I've started looking into the Camino Norte, but the logistics (food and lodging) seem a bit more daunting. What about some place totally different, like Italy or Eastern Europe?
We are young, athletic, and adventureous...but do not have experience in long walks (except maybe on the beach).
I really appreciate your advice!
