There are still a few places left for our mini-Camino in late July in which patrons and readers can pack in all that is best about the famous Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. I am leading this 61 mile pilgrimage – average temperature will be a pleasant 23 degrees - along with the chairman of the Herald, William Cash, and two priests.
What to expect? A lot of uplifting and inspiring sights and experiences. For one, the impeccable timing of the Herald’s planners means the group will arrive at the fabled city of Santiago de Compostela on July 25. It’s the feast day of Saint James, for whom the city and the famous Camino de Santiago pilgrimage are named, and which means, given that this is Spain, fiesta time. So be prepared for plenty of tapas, red wine and general merriment accompanied by the magical alchemy that comes from the constant arrival at the city throughout the day of pilgrims who have walked the network of ancient pilgrimage routes across Europe that comprise the Camino de Santiago.
