I think it depends how long you're doing it for and where. If you're around areas with lots of hostels it can be quite fun.
My trip to Santiago d/C was about 2wks. Overall way too long and lonely (even for someone pretty happy with their own company). But places like Pamplona were awesome to go out and meet people.
A particular challenge with the pilgrims route is almost all the people are walking, so they get closer as the route progresses whereas you fly-by.

Aye, we were talking more specifically re wild camping touring, so really isolated. Like when you see people cycling around the world on their own and camping. I just couldn't do it...
I did LEJOG a few years back and was on my own for most of it. Staying in hostels/pubs etc, didn't mind at all, meeting people when you wanted or just reading a book etc.

Yeah, I was talking about this with my mate, I know a lot of people love solo-touring/solo-travelling, but I think it would make me a bit sad not to share any of the highlights with someone! Still, you clearly had an incredible time and some of those views are genuinely to die for...
I'm very glad to hear it. The food in San Sebastian is genuinely next level. The best thing I've ever eaten in my life came from a little pintxos bar there...
