Camino Santiago de Compostella

Since there is absolutely nothing in this little village (according to Christina the owner of current Albergue, there are only 52 people here)
I thought I'd give you people an opportunity to catch up on some stuff and to learn a little bit about the Camino stamps or cellos (SAY-Yos)
First we can look at the enclosed map and you can see that as I mentioned before I sort of went off the grid and have been hanging around between the stages
Yesterday I went from Ciruena to Belorado and today a very short hop from Belorado to Villafranca Montes de Oca ( so for the moment I'm back on the track)

The second photo is of my Peregrino's Credenciale which is a Pilgrim's Passport that allows us to get into the albergues and will be instrumental to get the Compostela.
One must collect at least one cello/day in order to qualify for a Compostela. Some folks treasure the cellos more than the actual Compostela because in a sense it is a trail of your journey where you have been, where you slept, what you saw, where you ate...
As you can see my first one is almost full but I do have another blank copy waiting to get started and it is possible that I might go into a third oneWeiterlesen
