Well, another week into the Camino de Santiago, the group has grown accustomed to following an endless trail of yellow arrows. Campers and Camino-ers from all over the world have endured the hot weather of northern Spain and stuck it out to complete their journey. People starting from France, Germany, and even as far as the Czech Republic have all gathered together to see the beautiful city of Santiago de Compustella, where St. James was buried. The credentials of all the pilgrims have numerous stamps and a different story behind every one of them. We arrived just in time for pilgrim’s mass at the Catherdral, and I was amazed by the beauty of it. I wasn’t religious or anything but I respected what they did in mass, even if I didn’t understand a lick of Spanish. Spain has been an amazing trip, and the Camino de Santiago is a must walk for backpackers around Europe. It is truely and amazing sight and experiance for all eyes regardless of religious views.
