It is a beautiful Albergue with really cool people there. It is…

Pilgrimage On The Santiago Trail – Day 11- Why Are You Walking?

We are pilgrims on a pilgrimage along the Santiago Trail. We feel like pilgrims now and have found our stride. The elements have battled with us a little on some days and today was a calm sunny day which added to our enjoyment. It is not always enjoyable and pilgrimages aren’t meant to be.
