Manage episode 388048276 series 2794741
Avoid Crowds on the El Camino de Compostella
There are three ways to avoid the crowds when doing the El Camino: avoid peak season, avoid the busiest routes, avoid the last 100 km into Santiago.
Today's guest, David, chose a great way by walking the first two stages of the most popular route, the French Way, but instead of the last 100 km/60 miles like most people, he walked the first two stages over the Pyrenees from Saint Jean Pied de Port to Logrono.
While David made many friends among the fellow 'pilgrims' walking the Camino at the same time. it wasn't crowded, even though he walked during the high season in July!
