I've noticed that most people still want to walk the camino frances yet the recent photo of a long line of people waiting for a bed and the comment that some albergues are filling up in 20 minutes should make prospective pilgrims think twice. I finished the via de la plata from sevilla to SDC in may and can highly recommend it. There were very few people-especially the further on I walked, in fact quite often it was me and a Dannish bloke I met staying in albergues.
The scenery, in hindsight, is varied and ranges from olive tress/vines to corn/wheat fields to more forested and hilly in galicia.
The waymarking is excellent. There are some long stretches with no accom,water,shade or food. The Dannish fellow had walked the frances 3 times and said the VDLP was much harder.
I think that within a very few years this way will too be crowded-do it while it's still isolated!
