Hi everyone! I will be soloing my next Camino and will have 14 days. Considering I will be by myself as a woman I am more comfortable on a trail where I will meet more people/ won’t be walking without a person in sight for long stretches.

I walked the Portuguese last year and loved it and was wondering if anyone had recommendations for me based on the following factors:

1. I will be walking in august
2. I want to feel safe (and hopefully with people around).
3. I loved the Portuguese but the last 100km were my least favorite due to the touristy feeling and walking along main roads.
4. I would ideally like to finish in Santiago but am open to getting the muxia/ finesterre instaad (I just like the achievement of earning something).
5. I am very able to walk 25-30km per day.

I like the idea of walking the French route as I have never been but I’m unsure where to start if I want to avoid main road walking as much as possible.

I know some of my factors are a bit contradicting (wanting people but not commercial tourist over saturation, walking in nature but not wanting to be isolated) so any advice would be great!
