Camino Lady and Other Adventures

The Camino de Santiago

The Camino de Santiago, “the Camino” is a journey of the soul.   Its history is spiritual, dating back over 1,000 years as a pilgrimage from multiple points in Europe to St. James’ remains at the Cathedral de Santiago.  Just as individual personal and spiritual journeys differ, there is no single camino path, but many.  The Camino Frances, covering nearly 500 miles from St. Jean Pied De Port on the French/Spanish border to Santiago de Compostela, is the most well know and popular route.  But other Camino paths can take you there.

Individuals and groups come from all over the world to have what many say is a transformational experience.   Whether you walk 100 km or 1000 km, this journey can and likely will change you.

Who Is This Website For?

seeking to walk, ride, or bike the Camino.   Most content is focused on the walking experience, but no worries, this site includes information for bikers, and horseback riders, as well as information for those who might need additional assistance and questions that might be of particular help to seniors walking the path.

First-Timers

Are you a first-time Camino person?  First-time walkers have multiple questions – from what gear to take, lodging, what to pack and what not to pack, options of where to stay, what to look out for, what to do, etc.  If this is your first Camino, the questions can be overwhelming.  I’ll do everything in my power to take some of the guesswork and anxiety out of your planning process!  

Seasoned Adventurers
