As far as your question goes - will you be disappointed? Maybe, maybe not! Disappointments happen all the time, and fear of them is a bad way to approach life IMHO. Just keep your expectations modest and be prepared to make the best of whatever happens.
I completed the camino France's route in May and absolutely loved it for so may reasons , since my return I have been thinking about my next camino.
For those who have done both routes how did the two compare ? Did you enjoy the Portuguese route just as much?
Hi! I completed the Camino Frances route in May and absolutely loved it for so many reasons. I think deep down I'm worried I will be disappointed and the camino Portugues wont be as good
That's how I feel about the Mozarabe!My memories of the Portuguese get finer as time passes

Im 29 and have can take some annual leave from the 12th September for 12 days and don't want to waste my time off so was thinking of doing the camino Portugues.
I'm have a dilemma though, I will be turning 30 during the intended time away. My friends think im crazy for wanting to do another camino let alone doing it when it's my 30th birthday.
I cant really express how much I loved doing the Camino France's, I think deep down im worried I will be disappointed and the camino Portugues wont be as good.

Great! As I was reading the posts I was thinking about how your friends want to share in your birthday celebration. But with the camino you will be able to find out who your real friends are. See who comes to your slide show of your trip.Im definitely going to do the camino Portugues (something I will remember forever), a night out with friends getting drunk to celebrate my birthday can be done when I get back( I probably won't remember in the moning).
A hard question: how did the two compare? I walked the frances when I was almost double your age, and was so delighted that I made it to Santiago! i loved it all, blisters included. Ok, that is a lie. The blisters were a bit of a nuisance. 7 years later, from oporto. First day along by the sea and then inland as the coastal route was not set up at that stage for pilgrim budgets like mine. I loved both of them. No comparison. Then the Salvador, then a flat walk the following year to compensate, and this year, the Ingles from Ferrol. If you want to do it, then book the flight and off you go. Don’t forget to report back!Hi I completed the camino France's route in May and absolutely loved it for so may reasons , since my return I have been thinking about my next camino.

If I was turning 30, I’d go for the Primitivo in a heartbeat. At 72 with COPD my goals are more modest.Hi I completed the camino France's route in May and absolutely loved it for so may reasons , since my return I have been thinking about my next camino.

I am in the same a situation. But two things to consider one the France is getting busy and at times you will now come across large groups that seem to be self centered. When these groups are around try getting near the kitchen. I have walked the france three times in the last two years. But last remember this in the camino dictionary there is no such word as disappointedHi I completed the camino France's route in May and absolutely loved it for so may reasons , since my return I have been thinking about my next camino.

Hi there. I did the Portuguese last year a couple of weeks later than you plan to do it. I did the Norte in the year after I debuted on the Frances and I found that disappointing just a long hard walk. However the Portugues (Tuy to Santiago in 5 days) restored my faith. The towns were charming, the people very friendly and not at all jaundiced by the number of peregrinos passing through. The albergues were all great and comfortable. The Camino has a number of little chapels dotted along its length manned by a group of devout people who stamp the credenciales. The other thing is that the food along the Camino was really good. Buen Camino.Hi I completed the camino France's route in May and absolutely loved it for so may reasons , since my return I have been thinking about my next camino.

I can’t think of a better way to spend a birthday than on the Camino. I have spent my last two birthdays on the Camino- The Portugues in 2018 and the Camino a Fisterra in 2019. The Camino Portugues, especially in May, will not let you down! It’s a beautiful camino, as you meander through the Albariño vineyards and make a a “furancho” stop of two along the way near Pontevedra!Hi I completed the camino France's route in May and absolutely loved it for so may reasons , since my return I have been thinking about my next camino.

I walked the French Way in 2016 from St Jean PdeP, and the Portugal Way from Lisbon in 2017. Both were rewarding on different levels. The Porto Way I did was basically all along the Atlantic Seaboard, on Boardwalk, very sunny, little shade. Many many ancient fishing villages.Hi I completed the camino France's route in May and absolutely loved it for so may reasons , since my return I have been thinking about my next camino.

I turned 60 on the Camino Frances and also celebrated the 10th anniversary of my marriage. Though continents away from home and everyone I love, my Camino deepened my sense of awareness of these events.Hi I completed the camino France's route in May and absolutely loved it for so may reasons , since my return I have been thinking about my next camino.

How difficult was the Salvador?I've walked the Frances 3 times (2012, 2015 and 2018) and the Portuguese (along the coast 2019). The Portuguese was different because I was walking along the ocean and many of the towns were more for tourists. But I couldn't believe the beautiful views. I absolutely loved walking along the ocean. When I walked in May I was surprised that the majority of pilgrims were from Germany. I only met a few people whose first language was English. That was a huge change from the Frances - but everyone could speak English so it wasn't a problem. Some people switched to the Central route because they weren't feeling the "vibe" of the camino along the ocean route, and wanted to walk through all the small farming towns like on the Frances.
Last year I had my 60th birthday on the Salvador camino and received an individual serving of yogurt for breakfast as a gift from a fellow pilgrim and had a fabulous dinner out compliments of another pilgrim. Much better than a birthday at home. I get such a kick out of telling people my 60th birthday gift was an individual serving of yogurt.
So if you have the time and the money to complete another camino - go for it!
