Episode 39 - The Camino Francés, Part 5

Let's re-walk the Camino Francés together! Whereas many of the pilgrim interviews on the podcast take a thematic approach, focusing on a few big picture issues, this series of episodes will dig more into the specifics of walking. At long last, we reach Santiago de Compostela in this episode, after navigating the six final stages of the Francés. Sherry Kirkham of Ontario, Canada joins me for the first half, walking from O Cebreiro to Portomarín, and we talk about everything from squash soup to siesta failures to giant student groups. She's followed by Graham English of Alberta, Canada, for the home stretch, and Graham helps me to get in a suitably nostalgic frame of mind. An arrival three years in the making and the completion of this five-part series!
