If you like the social aspect you could follow the CF immediately with the CP. That's probably the second most traveled route. I met some people on the CP this year who had done just that - finished the CF and decided they weren't done walking so started the CP.I'm trying to plan a 2019 meander and would like to do a longer walk than the CF.. however I really like the social aspect of the CF and think it would be a shame to miss out on that part next time.. so here's what I've got so far..
Walk the CF and add extra on.. maybe Finisterra again?.. but still not enough..
An easy pace on CF gives roughly 40 days and I'd like another 20 or so so roughly another 400km...
Is there 400km before Sjpdp or 300 plus Finisterra?
I'd prefer not to be in France for too long if I can help it.. I'm not a huge fan.
Does all that make sense?
How about a 3or4 hundred km walk through Spain (ish) that finds me at sjpdp or somewhere near...
I don't really want to do 400km and then have to train or fly to sjpdp, I'd rather be continuous if possible
Thanks and hugs

I walked both this year and although I enjoyed the CP it was nowhere near as good as the CF when it came to socialising (luckily I had a walking buddy so it didn't matter) plus if I didn't travel after Santiago I would end up doing the CP backward whichIf you like the social aspect you could follow the CF immediately with the CP.

I'll have to see if I can get any info about albergues etc on the Catalan

If I can make Randy sound good I can do it for anyoneyou must portray me in a positive light in your blog and forum posts.
I'm thinking of redoing the CF. this time I'll go via Samos and instead of Sarria go to Santiago via Ourense. Not sure what that route is called but that's what a Canadian pilgrim I met did because she had already walked the CF twice.Arrrrgh it's so confusing !! I might do the CF twice !!
Andy,
I believe that there are some routes through the Basque country which can take you to St Jean pied de Port to begin your camino. These are not major routes and are not marked on my large map of all the routes in Spain. But some members of this forum have walked such a route. Here is the title of a recent camino thread about beginning such a route and going to St Jean pied de Port. But they are not very long routes and maybe not suitable for someone as social as yourself. However, I believe that you would be largely in Spain, rather than France and could connect this route with the start of the Frances.
Bayonne – Pamplona via Baztán or Frances?
The routes are called the camino Baztan and the Voie de Nive. It may be easier to end in Pamplona than in St Jean. Good luck.
You can veer off the CF in Astorga on VdlP and walk south to La Granja de Moreruela where you make a turn onto Camino Sanabres which goes through Ourense.Interesting. Does anyone know if getting to Ourense from the Frances is possible by walking a camino route or is a bus needed?

Now you have me thinking about this. But instead of starting in Barcelona by taking the Sant Jaume you could start at the easternmost spot in Spain and walk to the westernmost.You could fly to Barcelona and begin the Camino Catalan. Connect to the Camino Aragones in Santa Cilia de Jaca, and continue down the CF from Puenta la Reina on.
Hi Chris - this is the blog that Peggy wrote describing her journey to Santiago via Ourense: https://epeggyh.wordpress.com/ Unfortunately she was sick of the weather by the time she got to Santiago. I walked from Sarria and was sick of the weather as well. At least the first 3 weeks we had fine weather.Interesting. Does anyone know if getting to Ourense from the Frances is possible by walking a camino route or is a bus needed?
Thank you for sharing that link! It's a very interesting read concerning all caminos.[/QUOTE]Are you familiar with this web page, which could be helpful?

Not quite. You could walk north on the VDLP past Salamanca and Zamora to Granja de Moreruela. At that point, you can choose to veer west (with most people) onto the Camino Sanabres to Santiago, or continue northward to join the Camino Frances at Astorga. You can look at the options on this site.you'll be in Salamanca where you can then veer to Burgos
Are you sure???...If you want some social on the 19th day of walking an average of 18 miles a day you'll be in Salamanca where you can then veer to Burgos I know cause I saw it during my research. ...
