I would advise against bringing a tent - too much weight to carry.
The albergues or refugios are great - That is part of the experience not to
be missed
You will have plenty of solitude - the trails are rarely crowded
You can do the Camino Frances in a month
The Coastal route may take longer and is more difficult I am told - I want to
do that or the Portuguese Camino next
