All of us who met along the Camino Portuguese had a great time eating and drinking together every night and there were no fights for beds. It is a beautiful walk with limited places to stop for a coffee or inclement weather but for those of us who prefer to walk alone, it is fantastic!

I would expect there to come a point when, reaching an overcrowding tipping point, other caminos start increasing in numbers.
