It's now 5 years since I first walked the GR1 - the Sendero Histórico, the subject of my first guide for Cicerone, but my memories are kept fresh by a steady stream of people who come back to me with appreciative comments. Although fewer people attempt it than the Karnischer Höhenweg or Munich to Venice, the subjects of my last two guides, I think it's more of a once in a lifetime adventure. Not only does it take 55 days it also crosses a challenging empty part of Spain. It's a beautiful walk, not technically difficult, but you are "on your own" and making things work is very rewarding.
