On the Camino

'The Way' is a 2010 film staring Martin Sheen and directed by his son Emilio Estervez. It is about Tom (Sheen) who goes to Saint Jean Pied du Port to recover the body of his estranged son after he died on the first day walking on the Camino. Tom then decides to walk the Camino, scattering the ashes of his son as he goes. As he walks he makes friends with three other pilgrims: Joost from Amsterdam (Yorick van Wageningen), Sarah from Canada (Deborah Kara Unger) and Jack from Ireland (James Nesbitt). Together they walk to Santiago and then finish in Muxia. How far though is this film an accurate representation of the Camino experience?

The Confraternity of Saint James has organised a talk on the history of the Camino (all information taken from the CSJ's facebook page)

Came across this last night (taken directly from the Confraternity of Saint James' Facebook page) about a day in Reading.

The website of Wise Pilgrims ( http://wisepilgrim.com/ ) has free guides on several of the Caminos which give information on accomodation etc. and they are converting these into apps as well (so far they have the Camino Frances done and are working on the others). Well worth looking at for more information on any routes you are thinking of looking at.
