    Way-marker in Portomarín

    I noticed an unusual symbol on the Way-marker in Portomarín on the Camino Frances. I don't remember seeing this symbol used anywhere else along El Camino. The unusual symbol is a triangle with a dot at the center, and the number 324 written below it. I've attached a photo to help clarify. Does...

Force yourself to disconnect and take the full...

    What causes people to stop their caminos?

    I just checked Wikipedia and it shows that Paulo had written a few lesser know books before his pilgrimage, but it was on El Camino in 1986 that he had his spiritual epiphany, saw his true path and walked away from El Camino to return home and actively pursue his writing career. He then wrote...

    Well, Paulo Coelho stopped to go off and write his first book...
