Arrival in Santiago
Completed six-day walk on the Camino Inglés (~70 miles).
Enjoyed quieter, less crowded route compared to the Camino Francés or Portugués.
Reflections on choice to walk solo at times vs. entering Santiago with others.
Final Day Details
Early morning start in cool Galician weather (58°F).
Walked with group of five pilgrims, stopping for coffee and credential stamps.
First distant view of Santiago Cathedral
Experience in Santiago
Reaching the cathedral, joining pilgrims of many backgrounds.
Reflected on awe of the cathedral, having arrived seven times before (out of more than a dozen Caminos).
Pilgrim Office Credentials
Compostela process.
Volunteer-run reflection rooms (German, Dutch, English, etc.) for processing
the journey.
Quiet time with a fellow pilgrim for personal reflection.
Post-Arrival Activities
The little-know park behind the pilgrim office with fellow walkers.
Lunch at a vegan restaurant in honor of our new vegetarian friend—rare find in Spain, much appreciated.
Found value in quieter sanctuaries like Pilgrim House for guided reflection.
Community & Connection
Emphasized deep, fast connections made on the Camino.
Shared that many pilgrims walk during times of transition, healing, or intention.
Noted trust and openness in conversations along the way.
Closing Reflections
Gratitude for community support during live recordings.
Encouragement for others to pursue their dream of walking the Camino.
