- Time of past OR future Camino
- Some in the past; more in the future!
The official website for the CP (including central, coastal and littoral) is running a photo contest at the moment with 12 winning photos to be used in a 2024 calendar, and prizes from Decathlon involved as well.
The instructions are in Portuguese but it's fairly easy to follow: you just enter your name, email, phone number and upload one photo that you took (max 2MB in size) that 'best represents the pilgrim spirit'. The contest is open until the 15th of October.
Here's the link to participate.
This is the photo I submitted: a pilgrim rock garden at Refugio Nicolau on the stage heading into Coimbra. And here's what I wrote in my live thread at the time:
Just before Fonte Coberta, we had a big surprise when we stumbled upon a donativo campsite run by Nicolau and Maria (who have read this thread and were waiting for us!). We spent about an hour there with them and their French guest Jean, who has made a lovely painted rock garden at the entrance to the camp. They are all free spirits with a positive and beautiful outlook on life and the spirit of the camino runs deeply through all of them. If anyone walking behind us has the chance to spend some time with them and approaches with an open mind it will certainly be an interesting and enriching experience!
