Can a word describe the camino experience?

Yes, what do you want to know? At your service...
Hygge is winding down into a chair, taking it easy, not sloth, but comfortly, lighting up the house, finding your slippers.
To outsiders it is the epitome of the cold weather that makes people huddle into their homes.

Whenever you find that on the Camino, yes you know when you hit it...When youmeet the right pair of people to share views, hear stories, exchange jokes and puns. Getting some nice grub and some gentle vino too....And you instantly feel the room closing in on you as a confortable blanket....


post scriptum - we are not insanely happy.. we can be quite grumpy too, especially right know with the current government and insane cutbacks ( my midwife spouse is looking like an octogenerian, coming home from the war whenever she returns from the job!!) here we get quite belligerent !
Generally is is due to a misnomer in the international studies; we are merely content; With the extreme taxes, with our way of life, food & drink and mainly because we have a short distance to our legislation. We do not get shot easily in the streets, nor do we have landslides or hurricanes and expect not to have too much corruption....
Furthermore it is said that the Revolution will never take place in Denmark on a Monday or a Friday, or indeed if it rains. Whichever comes first.

We furthermore have our small Camino going north to south in Jylland, the main part to the West, easy stages small herberges , pls see:

Like it used to say on the ginormeous German beer mugs, brought home from holidays :

"Bier auf Win, lass das sein,
(Beer after wine, is not nice )
Wein auf Bier, rat´ ich Dir"
(wine after beer, is my advice)

Lol, yes, we German have Pilsner-style beer, but this German is even luckier because she lives in the Czech Republic, the birthplace of the original Pilsner ;-) Buen Camino y Salud! DY

I am sure we are all taking you up on your kind offer! Buen Camino y Cheers ;-) SY

Well anyhow why mix beer and wine, I go for vino tinto entirely when in Spain, so much temptation on a daily basis is so much more than my daily intake.......

so Enjoyment, when taking it all in; scents, foods and people would be my encapsulation of your Q !
