Hi hel&scott - this makes me laugh as the truth is - no, i don’t really know what I’m doing - I’m just trying to do and not just dream! I may have gotten lucky on the first go round so I have a bit of trepidation around this next one especially knowing the season is getting on and the weather is changing... and i don’t want to be the only pilgrim i see! I’d rather do an early Spring Camino but know that I cannot next year so trying to fit one in to feed the desire but want to be wise about my choice so thank you for your info re: the Portugues route. Cheers!But it sounds like you know what you are doing and will have a great time which ever route you take.
Montserrat to Logroño to BurgosThanks all I appreciate your input! Lots of options to consider.... Maybe even Lisbon to SdC & the Finisterre loop again given the time. Lovely quandary to be in but a quandary nonetheless. Will see if I can make something a reality...
Hello all you veteran peregrinos! I walked my first Camino from Lourdes to 'The end of the earth' last Sept / October... like many, I've caught the bug! Thank you to all who post such sage advice and keep the humor going on this awesome forum.
Now my question: I may have the opportunity to steal away for 35-40 days (inclusive of RT transport) in mid October. My first camino was fantastic. I went with no expectations other than an adventure and an opportunity to quietly contemplate, discover and give thanks... it was all that and more. Boarding the plane to depart for home was oh so difficult. I realize I was lucky with the weather and not a single blister helped as well. I met marvelous people along the way but was able to spend gobs of time alone and soaking in the silence that I now crave at the crank of every leaf blower!!! but I digress..... If I take advantage of this upcoming chunk of time for another camino what other route would you all recommend for the time of year and the amount of time I have? I enjoy hiking solo and am OK staying solo but I don't think I want 30 - 35 days of it... Thanks for any advice you can share.

I have been thinking about the Le Puy route for mid September this year. Unfortunately, a medical issue came up. The earliest that I can start is mid October instead. I thought that this would be too late for the Le Puy, starting mid October and ending in SJPdP toward the last week of November. With your recommendation, I am reevaluating my thinking. Any information or advice from Le Puy walkers about a mid October start would be appreciated. Bon chemin. /HieuHi there
Just another couple to throw into the mix -
The beautiful and popular Camino Le Puy - from LePuy en Velay to SJPP (around 760 kms) and if you have days up your sleeve at the end keep going from SJPP for a few days on the Frances for old times sake (though could be pretty cold by then).
The Camino Arles - fewer people than Le Puy route, mostly French speaking (when we were there in 2016). After about 800 kms it crosses the Pyrénées at Col du Somport and becomes the Camino Aragones, which after 6-7 days meets up with the Frances at Obanos (just before Puenta La Reina). Love the Aragones (will be back there in September). So a total of about 900 kms.
Spoilt for choice. Xx
