[QUOTE="jirit, post: 154065, member: 10406"] If anybody is still concerned about how "senior" they are, consider this gentleman who by 2008 was 72 years young, had walked the camino 18 times including walking from Rome to Santiago: "His name is Francisco Javier San Vicente García, a very special Pilgrim by his age and the number of kilometres travelled by different routes of pilgrimage. He is 72 years old and has just completed his 18th trip to the city of the apostle. From Paris, Rome, Le Puy, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville and Lisbon, to highlight the most distant points of departure. "The truth is that I have already travelled all roads. This year I went from Madrid, they have been 850 kilometers of route. Again it was a phenomenal experience, in which every year you always do new friendships", says Javi, as fellow travelers know him. Remembering in particular his visit to Rome and the subsequent pilgrimage from the Italian capital to Compostela: "I get a friend in the Basque country who is priest drive. It was a long and hard road to Compostela, 2,750 kilometers, but it was worth it." You can read more here (in Spanish): [url]http://www.blogseitb.com/rogeblasco/2008/10/04/francisco-javier-san-vicente-doces-veces/[/url] Curious to know if he has done anymore caminos since this article.
