The Way of Saint James (Google Map with Checkpoints)

One of the most popular routes is to start close to the border with France and then walk through to Santiago de Compostela near Spain's westernmost coast with the Atlantic.




Additional details keep arriving and it's important to travel lightly since there is so much along The Way.  The biggest conditional seems to be a sleeping bag.  Francis Tapon recommended a pack of a kilo or less.

Martin Sheen encountered an old Catholic priest as he walked Camino de Santiago and the old priest had brain cancer.

Sheen asked him, "Father, do you believe in miracles?"

The Catholic priest replied, "It's my job."

Notice he did not answer the question but the understanding was unspoken between them because they were smart men and knew that conditional remained.


As you see, The Way does go through Pamplona and I'm still not going to run with any damn bulls.  We are happy to leave machismo to those who don't understand what it means yet.

At first I thought you meant to run The Way but, noooo, that's way too tame before thirty (larfs)
