Un peregrino de nacionalidad alemana falleció en la madrugada de ayer en el albergue municipal víctima de un infarto. El fallecido se encontraba realizando el Camino de Santiago en compañía de su esposa, también alemana.

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Think about this for a little bit, and realize it really is not so sad.
These people died right in the middle of really living. I can´t think of a better place or time to go, than in the midst of a self-motivated journey to a spiritual place, surrounded by supportive fellow-travelers.

Dying is just another part of living. The camino is lined with pilgrim cemeteries. I´d much rather make my exit from somewhere along the trail than from an antiseptic hospital wired-up to machines.
(I can only hope my exit would not overly traumatize the pilgrims around me!)
