[QUOTE="Sue Kenney, post: 98914, member: 856"] The pilgrims of the past had to walk to Santiago and back home again. I believe there is some value in the idea that when we get to Santiago, the journey is half over. I walked the Portuguese route in both directions in 2004 from Valenca to Santiago, Finnestera to Muxia, back to Santiago and back to Valenca. It was an incredible journey and I wrote about it in a book. Again in 2010, I felt compelled to finish my first Camino by walking back from Santiago to St Jean Pied de Port. It was incredibly fulfilling, mystical, and a very difficult journey. I got lost so many times and often ended up sitting on the side of the road waiting for a sign of some sort or crying. When I got to a fork in the road coming from the other way, it was impossible to figure out which way to go. There are some squirly blue arrows painted part of the way and you can follow the arrows from Fatima in some places. I would highly recommend the journey back. You can read about my first 16 days on the Camino Frances return here. I'm going to finish the next 16 days of The Contrary Way - this blog/book very soon.
