WalknWomen: Camino de Santiago

El Camino de Santiago

Camino de Santiago also known as The Way of St James “is the pilgrimage to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain, where legend has it that the remains of the apostle, Saint James the Great, are buried.” – Wikipedia. The pilgrimage has existed for over a thousand years. To some the thought on setting off on a 470 mile walk across Spain may seem as enticing as being invited to purgatory. For my sister, who finally escaped the purgatory of a 20 year abusive marriage, and myself, this medieval walk will be our time to heal and reconnect.
