We start from the beginning ....
Who is the group holiday? ...
we can define it as a group has arisen occasionally in a hostel in Leon between characters, yes! You knew but did not believe the way to deal with when they decided to leave!
The holiday group has among its ranks and Chil Bagheera (the cupids), Rama (controversy, but the easy joke), Mama Rasha (the fearless who walks with the toes) and Uncle Pax (i-pode of the road .... a little super controversial) on the way they recovered two girls who started late wandering in solitary Charlotte and Valerie (the pilgrims).
main feature of the group was being "the kings of Lille" lived all the way to the spirit of peace, of making things easy .... Although this aroused the calm of Pax uncle who saw pass by all cyclists, young, old, slim and in the flesh!
all started like this ... In one day in August from Ciampino part of the low-cost flight leads them to Santander airport in northern Spain which will be achieved by various means of transportation offered by the towns of the Iberian Peninsula way. From here, in fact, with the first of a long series of buses, their inseparable companions for the first days, reached Leon, a charming town full of beautiful churches, a cathedral econ. By Leon Ponferrada next destination and the castle of the Knights Templar ... a castle that has nothing to envy to those of fairy tales, you see there motionless, an immense, rich in history .... You can not deprive you of the pleasure to visit, some to see the outside from the inside you expect great things, but time passes for all and for the castles, so the rooms are gone, you have to make do the walk on the walls, view down from the ancient battlements imagining that there in those bridges, those windows, those in the straight and narrow stairs many, many years ago there were the Knights Templar and enjoy the view! Nice nice nice! Here is
after doing this jump in history for our friends the adventure becomes more complicated .... They thought that the English media had betrayed them and in the blink of an eye would take them to Sarria, oh the twinkling of an eye seeing the optics of a pilgrim should walk the street .... Even the trains do have their time and km Ponferrada, Sarria are not just stuck on the contrary ...
Ponferrada, Sarria became a nightmare ... .. suffice it to say that the motto of the group was "that it will be 'in Sarrià RRIVà!". There is no direct bus let alone a train. ... The group relies so after many vicissitudes of the bus to Villa Franca, and from there change to achieve the long-awaited ... Sarria. All in two days .... Days removed from the true path lived with the anxiety not to achieve it!
Sarria - Santiago .... The last 100 km of the journey will help you make the Compostela ... ... it is here that the group of para-loving pilgrims to greet the bus wheeled their friend and start to move with their feet!
Now you just explain to those who are unaware what this Compostela. We must take a step back and explain that along the way each Pilgrim has an inseparable friend of the trip ... the credential! The credential is a pamphlet that you take before you go and need to testify that he walked the walk or bike or at least the last km to take so Compostela, which is a parchment certifying that you have been a pilgrim to Santiago! Can you imagine how the whole path is characterized by the ritual of the stamps on the credential, each country is met with a stop at a church in a bar in a albergue to get the stamp!
starts now for the holiday group the true path ... ..
I write with the fear of not being able to express in words the beauty admired, the days spent with their pros and cons, the emotions .... I hope that with this jumble of words, thoughts and emotions you may feel at least some of what we have experienced us, you can immerse yourself in our journey and why not! ... maybe come to the end of this post will be coming from a great desire!
Imagine a landscape that reminds a bit 'the landscape of the Marches, a mixture of cultivated fields, grazing animals, woods, streams and small towns ... .. Put a little 'dirt road, some rocks here and there and paved road, daring descents and ascents. ... Consider walking a bit 'in the shade, a bit' in the sun, considering the fact that shares in the morning which is cool almost cold and this temperature takes you up to late morning and then come the 14 and you die, you'll melt under the sun! Put some bubbles into account that if you're unlucky or cursed as Bag says "delicate feet," are sure to entertain you the way, some muscle pain and, from experience, always bad luck if you attend you will find a nice stomach with all attached because you know that the water path to the taste of chlorine is not the best for the stomach of an Italian drinking water sources Apennine directly from the tap at home! .... Here is the summary of what is physically the Camino de Santiago!
to keep you company all the way there is the arrow, the famous yellow arrow in Santiago that are everywhere on the walls of houses, trees, marked on the asphalt and concrete columns that make you count down the kilometers to go ... miss you .. there are days that you and appreciate you doing the photos and days instead of the curse, the hatred ... .. but all this is part of the way! The road is like life, you never know what to expect and everyone faces as it may, there are those who deal with a smile, maybe picking flowers for his beloved, who confronts her singing, there are pilgrims who are envious of how the way they live in a spirit of joy without suffering hardships that come before, but there are also those in front adversity strikes, then the beauty of travel is to grit our teeth and continue .... I tell you from personal experience that you understand that beauty is only continue to walk over, when you reach the destination in spite of everything, right there at the mercy of pain and despair, you're upset and still is a tough choice! The strange thing, almost pointless is that even if you would drop everything and thrown into a beach in southern Spain in comfort and entertainment at the end no one knows what strange force of nature in the morning you wake up at 7, you load a backpack shoulder and back on the road .... maybe with a smile on his lips as if the pain of yesterday there were ... .. The road gives you
certainly the best moments of the journey .... Along the way you are immersed in nature, you look around and observe, not only limits you to quickly see which features your everyday life, every little thing nature has to offer something different, more beautiful flowers, animals, trees with The twisted trunk that make you gape ... .. the way nature is, is where you can feel is to say stupid things or talk about anything that you meet your fellow travelers, but is also the place where you can be alone with yourself to think ... .. The road
asks you so much but gives you much more! Add to all
many people, English people, people from all over the world, many faces, many languages, many stories ... .. this is one of the special meetings of the way ... ... every face, every person has something to tell you met her, saying, give a smile to fill your backpack memories, anecdotes, to go faster miles, cheer for a break or to spend an evening together and make a walk on dirt roads all the unforgettable journey of Santiago. You breathe a different air .... All of them are friends of all, there is a fraternal cooperation among the pilgrims, there is a willingness to accept by the Spaniards, the ospitaleri but also the simple peasants as she passed to their lands do not deny a greeting ... .. from anywhere in the world you come from, whatever language you speak, or just a ULTREJA BUEN CAMINO not to make you feel alone, but part of a big family .... one of the pilgrims of Santiago joined by a backpack or bag attached to a bicycle, a donkey or a horse, a stick and the shell (this is the symbol that marks the pilgrim).
Day after day, miles after miles, song after song .... Reach the goal ... ... Santiago !!... stand there under the basilica, captured by its vastness, its beauty ... .. happy to have achieved the anticipated goal, maybe even with a lump in my throat and a very close to tears because you did it, did you get there after all ... .. is joy, great joy, an emotion that is hard to describe in words and while you're lining up to take the coveted Compostela review all the characters met on the street and among a smile, a greeting to the sums throws your way ... .. Sun, joys, sorrows, faces, smiles, laughter, head cabbage, great speeches, beautiful places ... .... After all we can say that is a beautiful experience that is worth doing!
Santiago reached if the forces and the available time permitting, can still walk up to us as an alternative Fisterre we made 3 Oretta crazy bus with driver and not just those that can be defined as good and we found ourselves in a great place, a dream, a paradise .... The last piece of land in Europe ... .. a small village overlooking the ocean where you can breathe "perfume" of fish, you can bathe in the icy waters of the Atlantic, a place where tradition is used to burn something on the way to the lighthouse and we admired a sunset magic, really bellissimissimo that takes your breath away ... .. our trip, our adventure could not have ended better!
tell you what happened day by day, hour by hour, several stories have been long and at the end not too interesting, news technical details because I have not written much if any on a search engine type in "Way of Saint James" will find a tidal news.
