Hi All,
it's not really an introduction, but I just made my travel arrangements to continue on the Frances from Fromista to Santiago end of November/ early December. I wondered if anyone of you will be out there as well, to share a glass of wine in the evenings after a long days walk in the...
Hi Darren and John,

The rest of the camino until my arrival in Santiago mid...
Hola!
I walked the Camino Frances in March 2002 from Pamplona to SdC. I then went on to Fisterra and on my last day I walked along the Costa del Muerto to Muxia, one of the most impressive routes on the whole camino.
