Nice! Subbed, thank you!
Take the opportunity to visit the rest of Galicia, Santiago and the road are great, but the rest is fantastic too.

I certainly will!! Incredible food, history, culture and people!
If you decide to come to Ourense, send me a private message, I’ll invite you for a beer
Very kind, and I might just take you up on that offer! Consider the offer reciprocated if your adventures ever take you to Washington, USA! (If travelling here becomes less of a headache again, sigh)
Which Camino did you walk?
I was on the Camino Del Norte 3 years ago.
Definitely a life-changing experience, but also a little disappointing in some ways.
(Especially how there’s a dedicated app everyone uses now, and most pilgrims reserved their accommodation a day in advance using booking.com instead of trusting the Camino).What you mean which one? Thought there was only one. On my bucket list. Want to do this so bad after watching The Way.
There’s a vast web of them spanning Europe.
But they all conjoin into 4 major ones in Spain:
Camino Frances (the most popular one by far, starting in France)
Camino Del Norte (mostly along the coast)
Camino Primitivo (short but rugged and beautiful, can be done in combination with the Del Norte)
Via De La Plata (from the south, goes through the desert)That book only covers the Francés.
And I think you would have gotten everything the pilgrimage can offer after doing the Francés (for the community) and a less popular one (for the meditation).
