I’ve been in a relationship with Camino since 2012. Still together 👍 -
When I was 27/28 I asked God to send me a man: named Ken (to my Barbara/Barbie), 6’2”, 190lbs, single, well-educated, never-married, no children. When I was 40 on my second camino I met him in Roncesvalles at the pilgrim’s dinner. He lived on...

Not a very serious topic, but I just realised how ideal it would be to find romance on the Camino. A fellow pilgrim seems like the perfect match: he likes walking, he likes Spain, he does his own laundry, he gets up early, he shares similar...
