500 Mile Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela

We arrived in Santiago on Saturday 17 July at about 3pm after walking 26 days. I don´t quite believe we have done it and I am just a tiny bit sad that it´s over. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, those that have waited until we finished, the money can really start rolling in now! www.justgiving.com/elcamino-hospice www.justgiving.com/elcamino-trust

Paco cured my big massive blister, if it wasn´t for him, I don´t think I would have been able to finish.

Entering the province of La Coruna at last.

Pilgrim sign in Galicia

Some pilgrims were on horseback.

We went to a bar to watch the World Cup Final.

When we stopped to rest, this group of gypsies came over and started singing and playing the guitar. I think my Dad enjoyed it!

Two French pilgrims we met on the way.

Japanese pilgrim who wouldn´t stop taking pictures of everyone!

Fiestas in Burgos

Two Italians we met in Santo Domingo, they were known as the snorers (including my Dad) and were sent to a separate room upstairs in the hostel where they would not disturb the others. Trouble is I had to go as well!

My Dad taking it easy!!

We reached Burgos at 12 today, took us 2 hours to walk through the city and the midday sun which made it worse. Through chance I had to do the packing today, now I understand why it has been so heavy, now I will be doing the packing everyday! On our travels we passed through Rioja, there was a magic wall with two taps one with water the other with wine, guess which is which!
