Map of the Camino Route

The Camino de Santiago, also known by the English names Way of St. James, St. James's Way, Route of Santiago de Compostela, and Road to Santiago,is the name of any of the pilgrimage routes (most commonly the Camino Francés or French route) to the shrine of the apostle St. James the Great in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain, where tradition has it that the remains of the saint are buried. Many take up this route as a form of spiritual path or retreat, for their spiritual growth. Brazilian author Paulo Coelho wrote the book The Diary of a Magus (Magician) or The Pilgrimage based on his own experience along this way.

Special thanks to Michael of Starring You for sending this wonderful map card where

he completed his route of 780km! Also he met a friend of mine in Santiago, the

awesome Vero who has also sent me beautiful postcards of Santiago de Compostela .

Muchas gracias!

Red Balloon

The red balloon of Hope possibly associated with Banksy

My first card of street art. I'm not an art person but I think 

some of the street art can be rather funny or carry a political message,

reflecting the creativity of the people. I saw many in Thessaloniki 

and Sevilla some as big as an entire building.

Thanks to Vero for this card!

Tenerife!

Thank you Vero for this fantastic view of El Teide!

From this angle it looks as though the rock is making a fist to strike the puny people

for trodding on his land haha!

Taking a break

Pilgrims enjoying the view of the mountains.

Many different people do the pilgrimage for different reasons, while some others are inspired by Paolo Coelho's book,Aleph. It's amazing what one can do when you first take that plunge or step forward.

Thank you Vero for this beautiful view!
