A private albergue, especially one that is not exclusively for pilgrims, is more likely to allow more... -
I have walked both routes and they do have many differences, some which are already mentioned above. I don't think both routes are really comparable, except possibly in the level of difficulty, although I thought the Le Puy was harder for me. The...

David Tallan replied to the thread Reverse way marking.Beyond Finisterre/Muxia, I think only the Camino Portugues is marked in both directions (with the southward blue arrows pointing you towards Fatima).

Day 13- Pontevedra to Combarro ~11km This was almost a rest day, but a gorgeous walk up and out of Pontevedra. We really liked both Pontevedra and Combarro. At a little cafe in Cabeliero we had a nice conversation with a couple from The...
