Day 12 – cross at the top of the ridge walking out of Atapuerca; looks similar to photos I’ve seen of where I am laying my burden rock but this isn’t where I am laying mine. April 26, 2025 by Patricia M · Published April 26, 2025
Day 34 – after mass I went to the plaza where a lot of pilgrims gather after reaching Santiago. From here I went to the pilgrim office to get my certificate of completion. May 18, 2025 by Patricia M · Published May 18, 2025
Day 34 – this was about 9:30 Sunday morning and I had already been walking 3 hours. I am now about 2 miles from Santiago and there was a clearing and a hill. I got off the path to see if I could see Santiago. These towers are the iconic sign of the old part of the city. When I saw this I started crying. I cried for the next 30 minutes as I walking into Santiago. May 18, 2025 by Patricia M · Published May 18, 2025
Loved your story on the lost shoe and a great photo with a happy owner. Great idea on hanging the shoe on the hiking pole.
Great story!!
