Camino de Santiago

The Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James, Chemin de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle, Jakobsweg) is a pilgrimage route to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia where the remains of Saint James are buried.

There is a rich network of routes towards Santiago throughout Europe. They are constantly fed with pilgrims since centuries long. Everybody has crossed the way at some occasion in their life. We decided to go along the path for a while.

History of our way

• We have had a vague desire to walk the path since we met, c. 2005-2006.
• On 22, November (2011), we decided to resolutely take action to do it. We plan between 2 and 3 weeks walking, in 2012, maybe in September.
