But I am starting to question whether the Frances route is the right one for me.

I agree with this. You can be alone even when the camino is crowded.
Having said that, I am a big fan of the VdlP.
The Pilgrim Office in SJPdP will have a lot of information, but may not know which albergues are open and which are closed. Many are closed until Easter Week or April 15.L’Esprit du Chemin

However I haven't been on the Camino Frances yet, I don't agree with you both. I have quite some experience with solitude, because I walked from Amsterdam to Le Puy (in different stages). I also walked for two days on the Le Puy route and found it a completely different experience. I was walking a bit faster than most of the others, so I was greeting and having chitchats with other pilgrims for every 10 or 15 minutes or so when passing by. Same on arrival, always people around me. No misunderstanding: I liked meeting fellow pilgrims and not eating alone, but I found it a completely diffent experience from being on your own for days. A circumstance I think is necessary for really experiencing the hard and wonderful things of solitude.AJ said:falcon269 said:You will have plenty of time to yourself even when the Camino Frances is busy.
