Planning to hike the El Camino?

The El Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route through north-eastern Spain gets more popular every year. Greystone author Jane Christmas decided, as a gift to herself for her fiftieth birthday, to challenge herself to this adventure—it would be both a physical and a spiritual journey. But what turned out to be the biggest challenge were her travelling companions.

If you too are planning to take this trip, perhaps you should take some of Jane’s advise before you go.
