will be ready someday

[marygobananas]

Hi
My name is Mary from Canada. My mom is planning to go to Santiago next May. She is encouraging me to go to Santiago someday. While I was researching Santiago journey, I am interested in the French Way alone. I will visit this forum to be prepared. Thank you.

Welcome

There is a wealth of information on this forum, you'll not need to go anywhere else.

Buen Camino.

Also 'youtube' shows many people doing the Camino Francis in a myriad of ways...I went with my son a year ago and we're still talking about it. It was so bonding.....
Love

I’m en Camino right now in an Albergue in Sahagun - just outside Leon- it’s exactly halfway between St Jean and Santiago de Compostella.

My planning was very pleasing but it’s a faint image that I’d fashioned from a blank page.

My biggest sharing point is that on days such as this when I was pushed to my absolute limits - what kept me going was a clear understanding of why I’m here and what awaits me when I reach the mortal remains of Saint James.

Well done And I suppose you know to climb up to the museum monastery up the hill, to get the hand written 400 Klm distance certificate written in old Spanish. The halfway certificate....
It's very beautiful.

Yes

I visited Santuario de la Virgen Peregrina and it was beautiful, the building has been lovingly renovated and restored and offers a realistic insight into the life en Camino in the Middle Ages. - being a peregrino at that time was overwhelming, surprisingly edgy and precarious.

Receiving a beautiful certificate, recognising halfway is a wonderful bonus. - so if you started in St Jean or Roncesvalles , it makes sense to go there.

The residents of Sagahun are very proud of their town and their artistic credentials are well recognised.
