Which Camino Next ?

[scubajunky]

So it approaches April again and I'm thinking of Caminos.
I have walked the French way and last year i walked the Portuges from Porto and the Primitivo.
I would love to walk again this April but ( easter holidays ) but am not sure which Camino to do next. I have loved all my caminos , the Primitivo stood out for it's beauty. What should I do next this April ?
Answers on a postcard please !!! and thanks in advance

This is my plan for June 2018 with two friends. We have up to three weeks and planned to end in Mossiac or Auvillar. Is one stopping point better than the other?

Can you give any more details about this one please bud ?

Loved the via de la plata!

Can you elaborate on that route please will it be fairly busy, scenery, accommodation etc

 

[scubajunky]

I only have two weeks to walk by the way ...

What about the Norte? It has some spectacular sections!

You could use this planner http://www.godesalco.com/plan/plata
and just back up from santiago to a suitable starting point. The Sanabres is fantastic, with many great albergues. Check out my blog www.terryonthevdlp.weebly.com if you like.

Le Puy is 130 kilometers SW of Lyon in France, 1000k +- from Santiago. The forum has a sub-forum on the route, the best guide is Miam Miam Dodo Le Puy in French but easily followed even if no French is spoken. The Le Puy Camino joins the French Camino at SJPP and you know the rest.

If you want to try a third country, I'd say Le Puy. It is spectacular. But quite a bit more expensive than Spain or Portugal.

@Camino Chris I think Moissac might be easier because it is much bigger than Auvillar and has good transport links out - it's on the train line. We spent a couple of days there several years ago, waiting for friends to join us, and we were more than than happy. We filled in the time by touring the town (glorious cloisters), enjoying the constant activity on the canal, watching the locks being opened and closed, and spent one day walking to Castelsarrasin which has a fabulous (huge) market one day a week - can't remember when. I also remember one of the best haircuts/treatments done in Moissac!

thanks for the input guys , the French bit sounds good, not sure I like quite a bit more expensive ! lol weather wise how would that region be in April, also I like to meet a mix of nationalities, if its generally just French walking that could be a factor also !

@scubajunky we met a few Germans walking the Le Puy in France, but the other walkers were overwhelmingly French.

Scubajunkey:

The Madrid is perfect for a two week Camino. There is plenty of accommodation but very sparsely traveled. It ends in Sahagun which has a train station or you can walk another two days to Leon on the Frances.

Thanks guys, Madrid Camino ? is it scenic ? will there be many walking that way in April ?

So Terry, when you say Sanabres, your not refering to the whole route ? you are refering to a particular section ? is that correct?
