Getting ready for the main event!

Camino de Santiago, known in English as the Way of St James, is a network of pilgrims' ways or pilgrimages leading to the shrine of the apostle Saint James the Great in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain, where tradition holds that the remains of the apostle are buried. (Wikipedia.). This used to be a religious pilgrimage but today people walk for all kinds of reasons including just for the challenge!

We are packing our packs and will be leaving Wednesday morning. We are 5 hours ahead of the US so when you wake up Wednesday, we will already be well underway. We will carry our personal needs in our backpacks, buy food along the way, and stay as often as we can in albergues (hostels or guest houses). Stay tuned!!! Santiago here we come!Read more
