Interesting. Both positives and negatives for sure. On the one hand, it might help 'unblock' some bottle necks and particularly busy sections. On the other, there are likely many businesses that will suffer or gain as a result, as the 'hot... -
I would imagine it’s both an effort to relieve the stress on the last stages of the Frances, but also recognize that other cities have legitimate concerns that tourist tax dollars paid in their areas are being used during the last 100km and not...

Medieval Christian Pilgrimage was the original vacation. If you were a serf, you worked every day but Sabbath and Holy Days. You likely died within walking distance of where you were born. If you wanted a break or new scenery, pilgrimage was...

I "3rd" the recommendation to look into Pamplona to Logrono. Train from Madrid to Pamplona, direct-speed train (or you could fly from Madrid to Pamplona...won't be too costly and it's a short trip). It's a beautiful section. Also, you can be as... -

If I wanted to introduce someone to the camino, and they only had 3 or 4 days, and wanted something "not so tough", I'd suggest SDC -> Fisterra. Now 3 days is pushing it on that route (medium-core), but 4 is totally doable. That way someone gets...

Pamplona to Logrono will give you a good flavor in 4 days. p.s. to the haters, what's wrong with an introduction to the Camino? I did 7 days on the Frances in 2019, got hooked, did the full Frances in 2022 and the full Primitivo in 2024.

Yes, it is. There also used to live Don Jesús, a former prior; until last year he often attended the masses and made a small walk every day. He is 99 now, and had to be taken into a nursinghome for old religious people a few months ago.
