@ffp13 I suspect that the mood may be somewhat weather influenced.Though I have never seen a photo at this stage where people looked sad. But you're right ending a camino is a sobering thing.
@Krisztinka Well thank you Krisztinka. What do you think that 'special camino-feeling' is? Is it the healthy 6-7 hr walks daily, the good food and wine (no GMOs in Spain), the daily adventure, the camaraderie, freedom from the cares and routine at home?
