A perfect Camino

Time of past OR future Camino
June 2024
Well finished my Camino in Santiago, Finisterre is for another day.
Walked from St Jean, and had one hour of light rain, but otherwise superb weather, and maybe because of previous wet weather, a riot of wild flowers along the way.
Deliberately did not make a family but made loads of friends, who I partied with last night, Tequila shots were involved.
Best bit, too many to chose, but the Meseta was a highlight for me.
Last night saw the botifuga swing, ain't that sweet.
For me there will only be one Camino, but I may walk other camino routes.
My advice, stop thinking about it, buy a ticket to the start and just keep it simple.

I, also, just completed the Camino Frances.After 4 cancellations (2020-2023), I finally did it. But it's a bittersweet moment: happy to have finished, but wanting more. So, off to A Coruna and walk the Ingles. And then maybe Finisterre. The weather has been perfect, so far. And, I know that the Botofumeiro will swing tonight. I'm a "happy camper".
 
I’ve had some great Camino experiences but getting to see the Botofumeiro swing has not happened for me. The roof top tour of the cathedral was a cool experience. Finisterre And Muxia were beautiful but I was been defeated when it came to watching the sun dip behind the end of the water. The clouds have always obscured the ocean edges. At least in Hawaii, I was able to see the sun set into the ocean. Some of the host have made my Camino experience rememberable as well as a lot of the people I met.
