VR (according to your notes!!) does look appealing, but too short. Truth be known, I have all the Via Francigena guidebooks right beside me (and am thinking of a London start rather than Canterbury - St Paul's to St Peter's has a ring about it), but then I sway back to Spain for the opportunity to practice Spanish!Are you only interested in routes that end in Santiago or also in parts of the wider European pilgimage routes network? If yes, the Via Regia in Germany is well equipped with albergues and, apart of July/August, very quiet. BC SY
The Via Baltics from Swinemuende was really quiet and pilgrims accommodation all along the way with a few exceptions. Only saw one other pilgrim on the entire route.Would it be accurate to say the Camino de Levante is one of the quietest? I understand theMadrid is also quiet but of course it joins the Frances which is not. At least the Levante joins the Sanabres (which I walked mostly in the rain so would love to try for some sun to see those stunning views that I'm sure were there!)
Start date would likely be early May to catch the wildflowers.
Not next year. Or the next.
I'm dreaming about when my homeschooling responsibilities have ended and know I'll be looking for solitude and contemplation. (My baby is 11 so maybe no route will be quiet by the time I walk alone!)

I think it's easier to answer your question by excluding Frances, Norte, Salvador, Primitivo, Plata, maybe even Sanabres and Portugues. Then print this map:Would it be accurate to say the Camino de Levante is one of the quietest? I understand theMadrid is also quiet but of course it joins the Frances which is not.

... Pin it to something made of wood or rubber and throw a dart at it. You may also try with a bow or firearms
I wish you'd stop talking about these wonderful quiet caminos - it just makes me want to pack my back-pack again!
Buen camino - tranquillo!
I think the inevitable result of London to Rome is to continue to Jerusalem!Walking to Jerusalem was pretty quiet

Have you seen this, Rachael:I think the inevitable result of London to Rome is to continue to Jerusalem!
These days might need @KinkyOne 's suggestion - firearms!

The Primitivo was pretty quiet. We walked alone for most of it. Until the last 3 days when we hit the Frances, that isI think it's easier to answer your question by excluding Frances, Norte, Salvador, Primitivo, Plata, maybe even Sanabres and Portugues. Then print this map:

I smile when people mention the Primitivo- it was the one place we have had a bed rush with people having to take taxis on to the next town and letting late-arrives in to the albergue so they could sleep on a floor!! But I understand it is usually quiet.
I see that you did it back in 2014. A LOT more options for lodging have opened now. I just completed it on May 27th and never encountered a bed race. Some albergues were full but nobody was left without a bed with all the options available. We opted for a lot of private albergues, pensiones, and even a couple of "hotels" so we helped to open up those albergue beds for the people with less financial optionsI smile when people mention the Primitivo- it was the one place we have had a bed rush with people having to take taxis on to the next town and letting late-arrives in to the albergue so they could sleep on a floor!!
