Guided vs. Self-Guided Caminos

Bradypus said:

I have walked a number of caminos in Spain and long-distance routes elsewhere. Because I value solitude very highly when I walk and enjoy the freedom to change my plans at will I would never dream of joining a guided tour. Walking the Spanish Caminos - and most especially the Camino Frances - is such a straightforward business that I cannot see what benefit there is to to justify the extra cost and the restrictions which a pre-arranged guided tour would entail. Unless a person is a very inexperienced and anxious traveller there seems little to gain.

I can relate......So looking forward to 800 kms with my dearly beloved next year...........
It will be 'character building'
I reckon walking a Camino with a spouse must be on a par with teaching them to drive......
Not for the faint hearted

1. We made the 800 kms together.
2. We are still married.
3. But we have agreed that we will not walk a Camino together again unless it's a short one! (like 150 kms max!)
4. We would prefer to stay married............
