Having completed my 'pilgrimage' from Saint Jean to Santiago on October 7, 2015, I have sensed a difference between 'trekkers' and 'pilgrims'. For the former, it may be an exercise in physicality. For the pilgrim, it may be a metaphor for life.

Thanks EvelynT! I am beginning my first Camino on 2 September and have prepared/trained for 3 months. Even so, at 68 I have made a reservation to pause at Orisson. Your post confirmed my decision to book this. I have been reconsidering this, not so cheap, perhaps not so pilgrim place.
