The Way

Walking to Compostela in the footsteps of thousands of pilgrims is a unique personal experience.
It’s not a race, not a marathon, not an obsession with kilometers covered or the first gîte reached. Everyone walks at their own pace, each on their own path.

“Caminante no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. Walker, there is no path, the path is made by walking.

Antonio Machado


What’s the difference between a walker and a pilgrim? The walker goes to Santiago, the pilgrim to Santiago.
