As I have always sought for new adventures, in April 2013 I did my first pilgrimage in Spain, walked approximately 550 km in 19 days, starting from the city of Burgos, and finishing it in Finisterre, Galicia, said to be the westernmost point of the Iberian Peninsula.
Besides the physical challenge, it was an interesting life experience as well, which helped me grow and getting to know myself better; but due to the “fiesta”, party atmosphere I was surrounded by, I then said that one day I’ll come back and do it differently.
So here I was, six years later, at a crossroad of my life, a good time of introspection and important decisions, when I suddenly remembered the sound of my steps while walking through centuries old villages and farms, on early quiet mornings that had the scent of rain and hope. Camino Frances gave me one of the most serene feelings I have ever experienced before.
It was the perfect moment to go back, and this time I chose Camino del Norte: a walk on the Atlantic coast of Spain, harder than Camino Frances due to change in elevation and high altitudes, but sending its pilgrims in the middle of the most magnificent nature, cities rich of history and breath-taking landscapes.
What is “Camino”?
For you to understand the meaning of “El Camino de Santiago” or “The Way of Saint James”, we have to go back in time.
