    Is Business Class Worth the Extra Cost for Long Haul Flights to Madrid?

    I’m confused. What exactly is a “true pilgrim?” My Camino is just that; MINE, however I choose to do it, and I respect how others decide to do theirs. The mere idea of holding someone to a “true pilgrim” standard goes against my many reasons to walk a Camino in the first place.
