Hi all,
I have a little more than two weeks at the end of July for my first Camino, and I'm considering the primitivo, as it would allow me to finish within the allotted time without having to skip any stages, and I could then maybe continue on to Finisterre or Muxia if time allows. The scenery on the primitivo also appeals to me, as well as the fact that less English seems to be spoken than on the Frances (part of my motivation here is to work on my Spanish).
Any thoughts on this plan? Am I missing out on a "classic" Camino experience by not doing the Frances? I'm a 23 year old guy, and it seems to me like it's generally an older crowd on the Primitivo. Not that that's a bad thing, but I'm hoping to meet some people my age to hang out with along the way.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated!
