Our Camino de Santiago Story: 37 Days From Saint-Jean to Finisterre

We embarked on our 37-day odyssey along the Camino de Santiago, a path that has been trodden by countless pilgrims for centuries. We left behind the noise and haste of modern civilization and entered a realm of simplicity and spirituality. We walked towards the horizon, where the sun sets and the world ends. We walked with friends.

Our journey began in the quaint French village of Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, where we crossed the Pyrenees and entered Spain. We followed the ancient trail that winds through the countryside, passing by medieval towns, majestic cathedrals, and verdant fields. We witnessed the changing landscape and the changing seasons, as well as the changing faces of our fellow travelers.

The Camino is a place of contrasts. It is a place where old and new coexist, where stone and steel mingle, where faith and reason collide. It is a place where strangers become friends, where stories are shared and secrets are revealed, where laughter and tears are equally common. It is a place where nature is your guide and your companion, where you can hear the whispers of history and the songs of the wind.

The Camino is also a place of transformation. It is a place where you confront your fears and doubts, where you challenge your limits and expectations, where you discover your strengths and weaknesses. It is a place where you find yourself and lose yourself, where you reach the end and begin anew, where you die and are reborn.

The ultimate destination of our journey was Finisterre, the "End of the Earth". It was once believed that this was the edge of the known world, where the land meets the sea and the sky. It was here that we completed our pilgrimage, but not our quest. For the Camino is not just a physical journey, but a spiritual one. It is a journey that continues in our hearts and minds, long after we have left the trail.

So, if you are looking for an adventure that will change your life, if you are looking for a way to reconnect with yourself and the world, if you are looking for a challenge that will test your body and soul, then the Camino de Santiago is calling you. It is a journey that you will never forget, a journey that you will always remember. Grab your backpacks and join us on the road!

I liked it so much, I walked it again a year later - check out my progress here:
