Camino Frances

· The Way of St. James ·

July 19, 2017 14 Comments

In less than two weeks mum and Grace are off to Spain to begin the Camino Frances. I will be flying later with dad and we will catch up to them on mountain bikes. I am in year 2 and I will be missing some school time. My teacher Mrs Williams said I could write a blog whilst I am away.

This is my first blog, I hope you will follow my trip.

Finn: What is the Camino?

Mum: The Camino is a pilgrimage to the city Santiago de Compostela. Pilgrims have been walking the Camino de Santiago for centuries, following the many paths as you can see on the map below, to Santiago de Compostela and the tomb of St James. Our first Camino will be the Camino Frances also known as the “Way of St. James”.  The official distance is 775 kilometres from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela.

    That’s unreal Finn. Don’t go to fast on your mountain bike. Remember your dad is very unfit and won’t keep up. Jude said good luck on your adventures/
