If you are on the CF watch for the fun & energetic group of 6 women from Taiwan, 5 of whom are 70 years plus.

Multigenerational family travelling together who exude love and joy from every pore! They call themselves the "Tiawan Grannies". The youngest is (granddaughter) ",Tina" who speaks English fluently and is spending 2 weeks shepherding her elders on the Camino. The other 5 older women will spend a total of 50 days on the CF, remaining on the Camino & fending for themselves after Tina leaves.

Tina walked the Camino last year and after returning home she told her maternal elders about her adventures. They all wanted "in" on Tina's experience so Tina agreed to help them get started on the CF.

They are a super super interesting and fun group so be sure to say hi, wave, smile, and chat with them a bit when you see them on the Camino!!!!
 
Prepare for your next Camino on California's Santa Catalina Island, Oct 27 to Nov 2
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
I haven't met these folks but Taiwanese in general are happy kind folk. Long live the Republic of China!
 
Buen camino, Taiwan grannies!
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
