I just completed the Camino Fracis. I got to the pilgrim office in time to get my compesela, and had a very positive experience there. I dedicated my camino to a close cousin who recently passed away, and I was unable to attend his funeral. I...
Hey all.
I haven't been on the forum for quite sometime (years probably).
I walked the Camino Frances in 2016 and to say it was life changing for me is an understatement. On day 3, at the café at Zuriain, I met the love of my life, Alex. 3 years...
