On a rainy day, two pilgrims from Verin (Galicia) arrive at the pilgrim’s office in Santiago de Compostela after walking from their house in Verin. On the 8^th day of walking they finally arrive. They tell us their experience, and how proud they are of being Galician’s after seeing their own region up close. We also get to meet a ten year old pilgrim from La Coruña that has biked all the way from Burgos.

Dani and his friends are almost ready to set off on their pilgrimage towards Santiago. But before they do, they need to stop in at a nearby supermarket, just in case. They are ready to go…almost.

Abel shows us the Portuguese Way as it passes through the village of Caldas de Reis. The quiet urban setting contrasts with a nature that, winter or summer, puts hikers’ strength and courage to the test. It is essential to make a break when the route gets too hard.
