Hi All
After completing the Primitivo in May, I've got the bug, and am planning a longer hike next year. I loved carrying a small pack, without all the necessary items for through hiking, a bed at night and all the other services, which we don't get here in Australia on multi-day hikes. Plus the camaraderie of other pilgrims, the history etc.
My question is for those of you who have hiked the Norte and the Via Podiensis (GR65). At first I decided to start in Leon, hike the San Salvador, walk across to Aviles from Oviedo, finish the Norte and hike on to Fisterra and Muxia.
I have also been researching the Via Podiensis and now need to decide which route to take, either in May or September. Any advice or opinions on both routes would be welcome.
