The camino is not really a nature walk. With literally thousands making their way to Santiago de Compostela everyday, you can look ahead and behind and see dozens of pilgrims. With virtually no cover finding a convenient spot for a short toilet break is challenging. Village café are that only alternative. Equally it means that you are never far from helpful hands if something goes wrong or if you need to discuss the meaning of life...or where the next cafe might be.
Fortunately, for those feeling the need for solitude, the guidebooks suggest diversions, some only a few km more, some entire day excursions requiring a bus or a taxi to return to the stream of humanity towards Santiago.
