    How Do You End Your Camino

    When I arrive in Santiago, the next day, I always leave for Fisterra and end up in Muxia and there if I have some days left I spend them relaxing in the calm of the village ready to return to Santiago for my flight, with a light heart at the thought of having accomplished my pilgrimage. :)

    Cathedral Closed...Is the Camino still worth it?

    Hi AshleyF, you are quite right to be deeply disappointed. For those people that walk the pilgrimage only to pay they respect to the Apostle James and not to be able to do so at the end of they journey and not to be able to go near the shrine is like a punch in the stomach. After all the things...

    Is there any elitism between pilgrims taking different routes?

    For me all my pilgrimages are dedicate solely to James, the longest , the hardest with lots of pain are the best presented to James and they will make HIM ever so happy, the rest don't matters as long I have been able to rich Santiago and pay HIM my respect. Ultreia. Ernesto
