Our journey begins on April 27.

On the 27th, we fly to LA to catch our flight to spain. After meeting Kathy and Javier in Madrid we four make our way to southern France where our walk begins on May 1.

There are many pilgrimages ending in Santiago de Compostella, the cathedral containing the bones of St. James, Spain's patron saint. The route we will take, known as the Camino Frances, begins on the french side of the pyrenees mountains and continues south and westward some 750 kilometers to Santiago Spain. We will be continuing on to Finisterre on the coast, for a total of 820km and around 6 weeks of walking.

This is the most popular camino in Spain likely due to the movie "The Way" and while a religious pilgrimage since the 1100's, today everyone travels their "way" for uniquely personal reasons.

We will post here as often as we can. By clicking on the blue "el camino de santiago" trip name by our picture above, a map will come up with our live location.
