PengembaraI’m amazed at how “uncrowded” your path seems to be. I have been worried that the Camino will become overcrowded before I get a chance to do my Pilgrimage.
PengembaraTwo or three weeks ago there were large groups of students doing part of the walk each day, then continuing by bus. I found out where they were staying to avoid those places. The arrival at Burgos also was busy, but less for me and the relatively few people who took the river route. Tomorrow I reach Sarria, and I am bracing for a lot more people from there.
