... I had an idea for a post I want to write on my Camino blog. I want to try and create a post that will be a compilation of Camino snippets from various pilgrims. ... To that end, I'm asking pilgrims far and wide to share their most magical Camino moment. ...
Boadilla del Camino. First albergue to the left at the entrance and there's a terrace. A beer. Nothing. Empty. Don't know why. Just me at my table. German pair at another just leaving and a girl at another table talking to them in German. I waited for Germans to depart. The girl talking to them had an accent that and I knew she wasn't German. We began to talk and I learned she was from Barcelona, opera singer, walking alone.
In that time I was in a kind of cleaning myself from very "unhealthy" period after ended relationship. I was so taken by Camino and craved to share with ANYONE I love what I'm experiencing in that exact moment. Nobody there, no girlfreind, more than 1000 kolimeters from home, nobody... That was exactly the first serious topic we exchanged with "chica catalana". Talked about sharing a lot. Two days later, dimmed corridor in attic part of albergue in Ledigos, few seconds, few words, everybody already asleep, storm outside... And we hugged. Just that. And I was able to give. And take. Again.
We went along off and on to Santiago. She was very ill in Ponferrada and I slowed myself down. Took care of her. We came together to Praza do Obradoiro. Wept while hugging each other. She went back to Barcelona for rehearsal and few days later joined me in Cee. Then on to Fisterra. We never see each other since then. Although we have a contact.
Nothing came out of that relationship. Wrong. A LOT came out of it or after it or because of it. For her it was renewed hope that there is still someone who would give. For me it was that there is anytime somebody in need of (me). For the two of us as a couple - we knew Camino is Camino and we have our lives that we live our own way which isn't compatible at the time being.
Hahaha, not entirely so. But the beer and orujo was there definitelynice story, thanks!...as if Hemingway walked the Camino
Just out of curiosity - How will you credit the writings of others on your blog? Buen Camino, SY

Isn't that somethingOh my God! I am still in Shock... I am an Opera singer from Turkey and I can speak also German because I live in Vienna... I met someone in Boadilla del Camino in an albergue with swimming pool and we had beer together.. He also broke up with his girlfriend and came to Camino. From that time we couldnt seperate from each other... We fell in love, we are still in love... But living far away from each other.. Your story is exactly the same as mine! Only I am turkish... Such a nice story!
