- SJPDP to Logrono w/ kids - July/Aug (2016)
Hi,
Our family of 4 will be heading over to SJPDP in a little over 2 weeks to walk the Camino for 12 days with our 9 & 11 year old. I just had the idea of putting together a 'scavenger hunt' of interesting/odd things/Spain-specific items, for my kids to look out for or try along the way ("Scavenger hunt" in the US is basically a list of items you need to find and check off - normally a race between kids/teams). I really think that they would get a kick out of it and it would help them sink into the experience and culture in a special way (and hopefully distract them a bit from the fact that we are walking for hours a day).
I would love the input of all of you who are out there and have learned the common items and sights that are uniquely "Camino" or "Spain" that would be fun to discover. ...items that you might find in many of the villages (certain type of pastry, ice cream brand, special type of chocolate, Spanish name for 'laundrymat', items that you sometimes see hanging pilgrims backpacks, hanging from balconies, goat walking down the road, different way to flush a toilet, etc.). ...and it doesn't even have to be locating items, maybe it's trying a special dish or talking to someone in Spanish, or meeting someone from 5 different countries. I appreciate your help! Gracias por tu ayuda!
Best,
Susan
