Our Camino Begins

In February 2024, after facing a tough season of illness, Joanne decided it was time for something more—a new chapter built on purpose, strength, and healing. She asked me, Kel, to walk beside her on a journey both symbolic and real. And so, our Camino de Santiago began.

Today, we set off from Sarria, climbing the steep stone stairway of Rua Major and winding our way through the quiet charm of the old quarter. The path led us through lush woodlands and green fields, over rivers and alongside railway tracks.

We passed the village of Barbadelo and the hamlets of Baxan and Leiman, knowing these were the final stops before the long uphill stretch.
