[...] The Way can take one of any numbers of pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela. Most commonly, as with most pilgrimages, the Way of Saint James began at one’s home and ended at the pilgrimage site. However a few of the routes are considered main ones. During the Middle Ages, the route was highly traveled. However, the Black Plague, the Protestant Reformation and political disorder in 16th-century Europe led to its decline. By the 1980s, only a few pilgrims arrived in Santiago annually. Since then however the passage has boosted a growing number of modern-day pilgrims from around the globe. The scallop shell, typically found on the shores in Galicia, has long been the icon of the Camino de Santiago. Over the centuries the scallop shell has taken on mythical, metaphorical and practical meaning, even if its relevance is actually due to pilgrims wishing to take a souvenir back to their places of origin.walking the camino [...]

You’re so right, Jan, we certainly did have a great time. We have been talking for a while about which Camino route we might do next – either Camino Nord or Camino Portguese, so our Camino isn’t over yet!

How sorry for you both. I guess the Camino faces one with the own restrictions…
Maybe you should fetch Greg with some thick juicy steaks now.
Anyway, you did walk the best part of the Camino and had a great time.

Oh, Judy and Greg, we feel very, very sorry for you!!! We hope, he’ll be better in a few days and you have a safe trip to Frankfurt or home (sweet home, I gess).

Hi Jan and Christ’l, thanks so much for your messages. Unfortunately Greg ended up in hospital in Lugo overnight on Friday and now we’re staying in an apartment in Lugo for a few days waiting and hoping that he gets better. Our lovely long walk is over, 5 days before we were due to finish in Santiago. We’re both very, very disappointed, and at this stage I’m not really sure what will happen next. We had organised to go to Germany next weekend, then fly home from there. We’ll wait and see.

Hope Greg feels better soon. You really are in one of the most beautiful parts of the camino. The food sights sound amazing. I remember the villages with the cows. They take them out along the camino to the fields each morning.
Beun camino.
