Do it like an Onion!

Source: http://www.livingathome.de/kueche/zwiebeln-43060.html

If you plan to do the French Way through Spain in 

these days be prepared for every kind of weather.

When you leave in the morning it might be sunny but really cold. During the day it gets warmer but maybe it will rain? Really often you also have a strong wind with about 25km/h (so ladys: an easy ponytail does the best job). And suddenly it get's so hot you feel the urge to take off all of your clothes, then please keep at least your panties.

We recommend the onion look. Like this you are always dressed right.  

Hazlo como la cebolla! 

Si tu planeas hacer el Camino Francés a través de España estos días, prepárate para todo tipo de clima.

Al salir por la mañana podría estar soleado, pero muy frío. Durante el día se torna más cálido, pero tal vez llueva. Muy a menudo también hay un fuerte viento, de unos 25km/h (señoras: una coleta es la mejor opción). Y de repente hace tanto calor que tienes la necesidad de quitarte la ropa.

Recomendamos el look de la cebolla. De esta manera siempre estarás vestido apropiadamente.

Why doing the Saint James Way?

There are more than 200.000 pilgrims every year walking to Santiago de Compostela on the Saint James Way. But why are all the people doing that?

We asked two pilgrims in Alfaro and got two really different answers:

Manuel (right, derecho) and Giuseppe (left, izquierda)

"The Way for me is a personal challenge that I have been nurturing my whole life and now, after retiring I am able to accomplish it. It is also followed by a religious motif" -                               Manuel, 65, Barcelona

"I have walked the Way ten times starting each time from a different point. Why have I done it so

many times you´d ask? Because I love walking. I do it everyday in Italy" - Giuseppe, Torino (IT)

 Every pilgrim has his/her own reason. Probably there are as many reasons as pilgrims.

¿Por qué hacer el Camino de Santiago?

Cada año más de 200.000 peregrinos viajaron a Santiago de Compostela utilizando el Camino de Santiago; pero ¿por qué todas estas personas hacen el Camino?

Preguntamos a dos peregrinos en Alfaro y nos dieron dos respuestas muy diferentes.

"El Camino para mi es un reto personal, que he estado alimentando toda mi vida, y ahora, tras la jubilación, soy capaz de lograrlo. También lo hago por un motivo religioso.." - Manuel, 65, Barcelona

"He hecho el Camino diez veces, cada vez empezando desde un punto diferente. ¿Por qué lo he hecho tantas veces? Porque me encanta caminar. Yo lo hago todos los días en Italia." - Giuseppe, Torino (IT)

Cada peregrino tiene su propio motivo. Probablemente hay tantos motivos como peregrinos.

Culture on the Way

Culture on the Way has begun!!

Culture on the Way has begun!!! 13 EVS volunteers from different countries will collaborate with several organizations and hostels along the Saint James Way in Spain. Financed by the European Commission through the Youth in Action Programme and Xunta de Galicia, this project aims to promote the values related to Saint James Way (solidarity, effort, self improvement, active citizenship, environmental preservation, etc.) and its European dimension.

The volunteers will be located in several places along the way, some of them will be collaborating with hostels and some in youth centers and NGOs, but all of them will contribute to make a bit easier the way of the pilgrims, and they will also participate and organize several cultural and educational activities in their towns.

  

This blog aims to open this project to everyone that could be interested in Saint James Way. We will bring information about the Way and what is going on in the towns along the Way, as well as share the stories of some of the thousands of pilgrims.

If you are a pilgrim or you are thinking in doing Saint James Way in next months, you might find us in your Way! We will be ready to help you!
