    Dangerous exit for pilgrims on the way to Leon

    It's open alright. I walked it just last month. That area also had one of my "Did I really just see that?" funny moments of El Camino. At least it was funny to a Hedge Fund guy like myself! You walk past the Corp HQ of some big bank (Caixa Espana) complete with all the security and...

    New peregrino starting Saint Frances on Dec 26

    Hi all, I am Eric from Chicago but currently residing in Bermuda. Very long story short but I planned my Camino for when my job in Bermuda ended (Aug/Sep 2014).
