My time in Galicia/Spain is nearing an end. I’ve lived in Galicia around 15 months in total, so I figured it was time to do some of the Camino de Santiago. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s an increasingly popular pilgrimage route that leads to the city of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia.

Having walked the Camino last September and October...
as I walked through Galicia I thought of you and was hoping that you would walk at least a portion before you left Galicia. One day is just a taste. I hope that your next walk will include at least one night in an albergue where you can talk with other pilgrims. That may be enough to inspire you to walk at least the last 100 km on one of the ways. I walked the last 100 km from Lugo, having started in Pamplona and then switching from the Camino Frances in Ponferada, where I took a bus to Lugo. The most amazing experience of my life. This July I am walking the St. Olavsleden in Norway.

Camino
I unfortunately won't have enough days off in a row before I leave to do 100km together, but I was actually just researching doing a weekend with a stay in an albergue in a couple of weeks. Will keep you all posted! Wow, St. Olavsleden looks beautiful too! Hope you have a great experience!
