“Spain – A Jaunt on the Camino” by Maridee Bonadea

The Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in Northern Spain was one of the most rewarding trips I’ve done in a long time. Over the years I have bicycled all over the world so I know what long distant travel under one’s own power takes. What made the Camino walk different was the infrastructure in place to accommodate travelers, the quaint Spanish villages and the people I met from all over the world.

I wanted to do this walk before I turned 70 years old which I did this last February. Hopefully sharing my experience will encourage those of you out there who have thought about doing the Camino but thought they couldn’t because your too old, not in shape, afraid to do it by yourself and all the hundreds of the reasons we think we can’t do something. Looking forward to seeing all of you at the Camino de Santiago presentation during the Sequim travel journal.
