After walking three Camino Frances, I can safely say-no more. Wayyy to busy nowadays. I've heard only good things about the Invierno, and hope walk it by way of the Via de la Plata from Seville. The one camino I absolutely loved was the Podienis, starting from Le Puy France...gorgeous villages and landscape!
Erin wow – what incredible experiences you must have had!! I enjoyed the first two days we walked along the Camino Frances – purely because it was interesting to see all of the people... and I enjoyed being able to stop so often for a coffee :) That said, I was grateful to step away and walk the Invierno... such solitude, so much beauty. Thank you for the heads-up on the Podienis... I'll look into that for our next one!
PS I'm curious... what's the most useful thing you take a long when you're on a Camino?
I do agree the infrastructure is nice on the Frances, coffee and beer a-plenty. Mmm the most useful thing…a small sewing kit! Came in handy for stitching up my backpack🎒
Yes!! A sewing kit!! I wished I'd had mine with me when I wanted to thread a blister. I ended up pulling a thread from my sarong, and luckily Mark had a needle (he carries a needle in his dental floss box, and uses dental floss to repair his things).
Loved this, very informative.
Thanks Toby! It was a really special walk, and I'm so looking forward to the next one.

I was there every step of the way... and even I found it fascinating. Well done and thanks for the awesome memories!
