On the Camino

This is an amazing Wedding cake! http://leefarmer.net/SantiagoDeCompostelaFront.html

There are quite a few films where the hero/s take a journey by foot so below are a few with the distances travelled. Image from http://moviewatchersguide.com/2013/04/03/in-honer-of-national-walking-day/

On the 24th-30th September there is a Pilgrim Fedtival in Wye with a selection of free and paid yalks and activities on offer some of which require a booking

The Post Office (Correos) in Spain have a website in English for the Camino at http://www.elcaminoconcorreos.com/en/  which includes some short downloadable information on the Caminos ( http://www.elcaminoconcorreos.com/en/downloads ) and information about their backpack transport ( http://www.elcaminoconcorreos.com/en/rucksack-transfer ) which we have used to transport my Mum's backpack and found to be cheaper than anywhere else that we looked as well as being reliable.

If you are on the Camino you may well see 'China Bazar' or 'Oriental Bazar' in cities and some towns  - these shops are certainly worth a visit if you find yourself in need of something. Image from https://www.yelp.com/biz/bazar-china-arroyomolinos

All-powerful God, You always show mercy toward those who you love and you are never far away for those who seek you.

This blessing comes from the text of a mediaeval rite dated 1078 and was preserved in the Missal of Vich Cathedral in Barcelona. In Roncesvalles' Abbey this blessing is used at the end of the Mass for pilgrims passing through.
