- Time of past OR future Camino
- First one in 1977 by train. Many since then by foot. Next one ASAP.
I went off to walk the Camino Ingles this year with a brooding sense that something bad was about to happen to me. Well, nothing did! I flew home on June 8 ---- and one week later I fell and broke multiple vertebrae in my back. Excruciating, debilitating pain. I lived on hydrocodone for weeks thereafter. My flock prayed for me, the Bishop visited me in mid-August and anointed me, I finally had back surgery on August 31.... and the pain was gone before I got off the gurney! Immediate and complete recovery! TBTG! Do miracles happen? Well, based on my life's experience, yes. I feel like I got my 28 year-old body back!
Which means (of course) that I'm already contemplating next year's walk.
Probably in the Fall, probably from Logrono to Leon or Astorga. (I am passionate about the Meseta.) So please, veterans or locals : are there special dates I should try and plan my easy-paced Fall 2023 walk around? I enjoyed the Logrono San Mateo in 2012, and would like to enjoy it again. The Feast of the Holy Cross in Burgos in 2015 was memorable! ….. Special events? Market days in otherwise unremarkable towns? Bullfights or horse shows? Historical re-enactments? Your suggestions will very much appreciated.
And I urge you ---- treat your every walk in Spain as if it were your last. Pax.
