Camino historians & those with experience: I ask for some help with a project. I am exploring the possibility of writing a novel in which walking the Camino is a major part of the story. I started my research here by using the forum search function, and found some interesting threads/info. However, most of the threads were 3+ yrs old, and wonder if anyone knows of new info since.
Specifically, I want to know what the CF was like for young women in the early to mid 1980s.
- Was it possible that an early 20s woman from another country could have worked as a hospitalero?
- Could she have learned of the "pilgrimage trail" as a young girl from stories her grandmother, an immigrant from Galicia, told her?
I will be walking the CF with my son in Sept/Oct 2016. In addition to enjoying the journey with my son, I have reason to be even more observant of every detail that will fit into my brain (and spilling over to the pages of my journal).
Any help you may offer is greatly appreciated!
