i am quite interested what is your opinion/recommendations about those 3 caminos . Most of the places in your second sentence are memories a part from the cruisesMozarabe? Levante? Invierno?
Or are you drawn to something else? Kilamanjaro? Machu Picchu? Everest Base Camp? Trans Siberian Railway? a cruise?
The forum has threads for 31 routes in Spain in addition to the Camino Francés. Browsing through some of those sections might help focus your questions.can you recomend some of the other routes
Ok... I'm interested. Do you have an itinerary for the first leg from Lourdes to Oloron?Camino Aragones: Lourdes to Oloron, then up over the Somport Pass to Jaca, and from there on to Puente la Reina/Pamplona..... Did it in 2018.... Desperately wish that I could do it again someday!
Lourdes is on the Piamonte route.Ok... I'm interested. Do you have an itinerary for the first leg from Lourdes to Oloron?

Hi JoroSo since 2018 i compleated Camino Frances/Portuges/Primitivo/Norte . Some of them more than once . It may sounds like a lot (FB) but not in this forum ..... I don't have any plans for 2025 camino and to be honest i dont feel the calling like i used to . However just in case can you recomend some of the other routes ? 2 or 3 weeks time perhaps , April till October ? And yes i have other plans for 2025 like TMB and possibly bikepacking ruta de la plata (i don't think of it as camino/pilgimage though ) .

I second Jeffrey's suggestion. For anyone interested in walking historic pilgrimage routes, this one was described in the 12th c Codex Calixtinus. "Three in particular are the pillars of extraordinary usefulness that the Lord has established in this world for the succour of His poor, these being the hospital in Jerusalem, the hospital of Monts Joux (Grand Saint-Bernard pass), and the hospital of St “Christina in Somport.”Camino Aragones: Lourdes to Oloron, then up over the Somport Pass to Jaca, and from there on to Puente la Reina/Pamplona.....

So cool someone remembers the albergue at Eunate. I was a hospi there in very early 2007 (freeeezing!) and can well recall those stars on the ceiling!I walked the Aragones back in 2005 from Oloron and loved it. Two memorable experiences were being able to sneak in the Can Franc Estación and explore the ruins and a memorable night at the albergue at Eunate. At Eunate, time in the chapel by candlelight, returning to the albergue, and at lights out discovering someone had applied day-glo stars to tge ceiling so we slept under starlight.
Congratulations on your adventures! Maybe consider volunteering at one of your favorite albuergues on your favorite route?So since 2018 i compleated Camino Frances/Portuges/Primitivo/Norte .

Through your eyes, I am an 'oldtimer.' Through my eyes and through my infused spirit, I am a newborn babe. And since I do not consider myself an 'oldtimer,' please do not call me an 'oldtimer.' It goes against my basic grain.So since 2018 i compleated Camino Frances/Portuges/Primitivo/Norte . Some of them more than once . It may sounds like a lot (FB) but not in this forum .....

I was sad to read that you no longer hear the Way calling you back. There are so many routes to Santiago but these are just roads and foothpaths. When your calling springs back to life you will know which route you need.So since 2018 i compleated Camino Frances/Portuges/Primitivo/Norte . Some of them more than once .

Echoing @Perambulating Griffin’s interestOk... I'm interested. Do you have an itinerary for the first leg from Lourdes to Oloron?
It is a great (as in grand) Camino!Hi Joro
Like you I’ve been walking the Caminos since 2015 and I’ve decided I want to do one more so next year June -July I’m walking the vdlp, 45 days with a few rest days thrown in so I’ll probably plan 50 days for the whole journey.
So you mean Via de La Plata? It’s a wonderful fairly solitary Camino whether on bike or foot. I saw a lot of people on bikes when I walked in 2022.And yes i have other plans for 2025 like TMB and possibly bikepacking ruta de la plata (i don't think of it as camino/pilgimage though ) .
Curious - possible to start earlier than March for this one? Don't mean to hijack this post, been but this route has tickling the back of my brain and I haven't yet started to look into it yet as I'm focused on my Spring 2025 plans now. But I've been concerned about the heat on this one and wondering how early to start it if walking all the way to Santiago.from March if starting at Sevilla
I suggested them because they are different to what you have already done and I wondered if you were seeking some novelty.i am quite interested what is your opinion/recommendations about those 3 caminos . Most of the places in your second sentence are memories a part from the cruises
A quick question for you. When I stayed there in 2005, in the morning when we came down to find the table set for breakfast, at each place was a small, cloth bag filled with lavender, and the bag had the sello of the albergue. Was that also a regular thing?So cool someone remembers the albergue at Eunate. I was a hospi there in very early 2007 (freeeezing!) and can well recall those stars on the ceiling!
...also the fun poking around that creepy abandoned train station up on the mountain, I did that in about 2011. Wow has it changed since then!
It's kinda fun, being an old-timer.
I’m walking the vdlp next year starting in mid June. The expected temperature will be around 30 degrees which to be honest is not that much different to the meseta in July August so I find walking in those temperatures quite comfortable and easy on the muscles.Curious - possible to start earlier than March for this one?

Just a reminder that weather info usually gives average highs and lows. Average high for Sevilla in June is 32C. This year (2022) Sevilla had a high of 42C during the June heatwave.I’m walking the vdlp next year starting in mid June.
