Hello all. Here to give a brief account of my (and many others) first day on the Camino on May 1.
The trip to Roncesvalles was tough. I went Valcarlos route because napoleon was very ill advised due to the snow storm.
I did not have the proper...
I am so very glad you had a wonderful experience. I volunteered filling out compostelas in the Pilgrim Office for 2 weeks in 2018 and it was the experience of a lifetime. To my surprise, the Pilgrim Office staff who trained us said to spend as...
