The most recent and profound curious adventure I completed was of course the Camino de Santiago in Spain. I know so many who are planning to tackle this journey on their own and I highly recommend it as a truly meaningful travel adventure. Many of you have read my book Sunrises to Santiago (THANK YOU) and for those of you who are planning your own 500 mile trekking adventure, or thinking about it, you can find all you need to know about planning for the Camino de Santiago here in the planning resources area of the site.
I have had some nice people who have just finished reading the book who have asked to see photos of the journey. Below you will find a photographic journey from beginning to end of the Camino de Santiago and for those of you who have read the book, you will recognize some significant locations and characters from the story. If you are planning your own Camino de Santiago, please don’t hesitate to send me any questions you might have using the contact page here or by commenting on this post. Buen Camino my curious friends …
