I too walked to the coast after, then walked back to Santiago to end. I really like that walk back part as it really felt like a wind down, I'd seen it before and I passed pilgrims walking the other way. I really felt like I was walking home and put me in that mindset.
I hear the walk between the two is fabulous... I am saving that for a future walk. I had considered it, but was so worn out by the time I made it to the coast (I was about 1100kms in at that point) that I decided that my body decided it was the end...
Rob--just finished watching your saga! What a profound achievement of the body and soul. I am planning on doing the Frances as my first Camino. but the solitude you had on these other paths is very tempting. Very excited to see your Finisterre and Muxia--I haven't seen many video examples of that. Thinking of adding that to my own Camino experience.
Tough call. The Frances is very special, but also busy in peak season....... For a first Camino, these routes, the VdlP and Invierno, could be a challenge logistically. And very lonely.... Compared to the Frances they really are like comparing Apples and Oranges.
Not really, as there are so many, and we all have different tastes. I've done one on churches, food, places I stayed. What sort of things are you seeking guidance on?

Nice 🙂
I’m so excited to see your walk to Fistera and Muxia

I know the feeling! But I love ending in Muxia. Fisterra didn't really appeal to me much, as an end point.
