I discovered this gentlemen a few years ago. Back in 2008, Francisco Javier San Vicente García, at 72 years old had just completed his 12th trip to the city of Santiago de Compostela.
By 2014, at age 78, he had walked a total of 22,000 km, and completed 17 caminos.
His record so far includes the camino Frances route four times by way of Roncesvalles; two from the Alto de Somport (Huesca Pyrenees); and once from Irun (Northern Route), the Portuguese way from Lisbon; Ruta de la Plata from Seville; and one each from Tortosa, Valencia, Barcelona, Le Puy (France) and most recently Madrid. ( I believe I spotted him in one of the main squares in Madrid).
Along with these routes, he also walked two very long distance routes; one from Paris (2,050 kilometres) and the other from Rome (2,750 kilometres), the latter done in 74 days.
This year he returns in May to walk the Frances route again and the camino of St. Ignatius Loyola Shrine to Barcelona.
