29 Nationalities I Met on the Camino (Map)

Hi Dylan,

That's fantastic. For me, one of the best aspects of camino is the people. On the night we finished the Caminho de Portugues there were 17 of us from about 9 different countries . . . celebrating together in Santiago.
Which camino did you do?

Buen camino. Carole

Hello Dylan, Well you missed us! Although we are not Costa Rican, we have lived a long time here and walked for Costa Rica (I think that there were less than 30 walking from C.R. last year). We also walked between mid Sept and end October. Sorry we missed you! Anne

so Dylan
if you have a moment to spare
could you tell me where i could establish how many nationalities are represented on this site

Hi Ann,
I am from Costa Rica, and will be walking the camino 9/13 to 9/23, in 2 weeks. Will star in Ferrol.How is the weather then. Does it get very cold, or a lite jacket is ok? I am from Grecia, but living in usa for the last 30 years.
