There is so much to say about this experience that I went through on the Camino de Santiago, and it’s very hard to find the words, but here are the things that I thought were special:
1. The views of the Atlantic Ocean and feeling this power of those waves, and walking through the tiny villages of Portugal, made it so special and made you appreciate and see so much more than you’d just normally have a chance to be exposed to.
2. Walking through Galician villages early in the morning and feeling the mist on your skin, walking through dark forest and feeling an absolute peace, like a slow meditation.
3. Staying at hostels - which you understand, the community integration is not about luxurious hotels, (however you can do it that way as well). The albergues are normally very minimalistic, but it just makes you appreciate how a very cute-looking place with just clean sheets and enough space for you to rest is a good place and good conditions for you to actually enjoy it. There’s not much you need for happiness.
4. And the last one is feeling that you are able to do so much more than you actually thought you could. Just walking miles and miles a day, and then arriving at a place feeling absolutely exhausted, and then waking up and being able to do it all over again across 10 days. It’s not just impossible to wrap your head around - you walk out feeling like an absolutely different human, like you can do so much more, and it just expands your own perception of yourself.
I just finished my Camino de Santiago, and it took me a little while to plan, prepare and learn everything to get myself ready. So just to save you some time, I put together a guide on the Camino de Santiago that has all the tips, recommendations and packing list.
Comment “Camino” and I’ll send it to you 🤍
