The Camino de Santiago: A Journey of Spirit and Simplicity

MAY 23, 2024 – JUN 1, 2024

Walking the Camino de Santiago was a soul-stirring pilgrimage—an experience that transcended miles and touched the heart in quiet, profound ways. Our journey along the final stretch from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela led us through rolling Galician countryside, ancient stone villages, and forest paths steeped in centuries of prayer and reflection.

Each day brought its own rhythm and reward. From Sarria to Portomarín, we crossed medieval bridges and rivers that whispered stories of countless pilgrims before us. In Palas de Rei and Melide, we savored Galicia’s famous octopus dish, pulpo a la gallega, and shared laughter over hearty meals. The trail from Arzúa to A Rúa wove through fragrant eucalyptus groves and peaceful farmlands, inviting moments of stillness and gratitude.

Finally, reaching the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, we felt the powerful energy of arrival—the culmination of every step, every conversation, and every silent prayer. For each of us, the Camino was not just a hike, but a journey inward—one of reflection, connection, and renewal of the spirit.
