Crowded path to Santiago, Spain, includes health issue
I started thinking about how unique this path really is. One feels extraordinarily safe. Everyone is basically going in the same direction with the same destination in mind. Every town and village awaits in anticipation the approach of the perigrinos, with beds and food at the ready. In the mornings cafes facilitate the early risers by opening their doors before sunrise to bleary-eyed pilgrims seeking a cup of Joe before embarking on the day’s adventure. As each day progresses, smaller villages along the route offer refreshment and food for those who are hungry, or in need of a little respite.
