    When are you wanting to go? There is much more solitude in the off season (December to March) on the Camino Frances. Or chose a quieter route such as the Via de la Plata, Camino Invierno, or the Mozarabe?

    Phil W reacted to DoughnutANZ's post in the thread want solitude with Like Like.
    It sounds like you will be starting your Camino with a lot of expectations. In my experience, this leads to a disappointing and boring Camino. My advice would be to worry less about your Cumbayá avoidance strategies and go with an open mind and...
