What is the Camino De Santiago? St James was a disciple of Jesus and is buried at this location in the North East of Spain. It is estimated that half a million people did the walk last year.
Why do it? For some it a pilgrimage for religious reasons others do it to challenge themselves meet lots of interesting people and get exercise.
Why me? My primary aim is to collect funds for Brain Tumour Research.
