Further Good News - Camino Ingles (from Coruna)

Further to the welcome pre-Christmas announcement that Pilgrims starting their pilgrimage in A Coruna could obtain the Compostela, provided that they have walked the balance of the Camino (25km) in their own country or where they live. Avril Gonzalez-Primero of the the Coruna Tourist Association announced that they have secured funding this year to set up a temporary installation on the promenade (adjacent to Riazor Beach) which will contain three treadmills. The treadmills will be pre-programmed to mimic the undulating nature of parts of the Ingles route and can be booked in sessions of 10kms, in order to ensure that in busy times all pilgrims have fair and reasonable access. The facility will have a set of full-width, bi-folding doors facing the beach to ensure that Pilgrims breath the fresh air and feel the elements which, anyone who has visited A Coruna will know, can be bracing! The idea behind the initiative is that Pilgrims may spend a day or two in Coruna before they set out to Santiago, enjoying the city and its culture in addition to fulfilling the 100km requirement.

If this summer's trial is a success then the exercise may be repeated next year in A Coruna and also extended to the Pilgrims Office in Santiago, where it is thought that the ability to complete the 100kms may pass the time whilst waiting in the summer queue.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Coming up to my 69 birthday I had hoped to complete this Camino later this year- this probability would have being my last Camino. However as the saying go - people plan – God smiles.

Just diagnosed with coronary heart disease – will need a quadruple bypass.....

You will be fit as a fiddle after this, just take it nice and easy after the op and build up slowly.
Buen Camino.

It's a shock but we can be thankful that that this has been diagnosed - how wonderful is health care today! I agree with @wayfarer.
