I've never walked it but my brother in law cycled much of the northern Spanish part of it some years ago as a family venture - when their kids were in that narrow age band between being old enough to cope and before they left for uni etc. They thoroughly enjoyed it but as money wasn't an issue they did 'spend heaps in hotels' so the worthless penitent element of the exercise was cut to a minimum. They sent us a postcard from Santiago and that ticked off the Camino for me.

I walked it about three years ago and it was a great experience.
Went alone, met a bloke on the plane out, couple more that night in the pension and pretty soon we had a group of ten that stayed together for thirty days until we reached Santiago.
We still all chat on WhatsApp.

Yes the file is locked to keep inquisitive minds busy :0) in these dark days.
The clue is not the answer but it can... lead to it.
Neuron teasing time boys and girls!

Aow B.O.B , what a shame, you'll never understand what you missed until you go. Reconsider going maybe?
Some of lifes' treasures are 'hidden in plain site'. I am glad I went as the way taught me a great deal.
If you allow your mind to be receptive to new lessons, it can be a real eye opener.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
