In September 2009 I spent 21 days on the road cycling from Andorra to Santiago de Compostelle, Spain on the pilgrim road... I cycled 1200km with my husband and for us it was more a cycling experience than a religious one, but we went through so many beautiful places, visiting sacred monument, churches etc, that you have a special atmospheres on the road. You meet wonderful people and very easily because everybody has the same purpose to arrive to Santiago de Compostelle. Most of the people walk it through about 20-30km per day and on the bicycle you can do 2-3 distances per day about 50-100km per day. We had mountain bikes so we could use all the "Camino" roads, the small roads for walking... these are the best because these roads goes through all the small villages and visit really special places... These roads start in many countries around Europe and they come together in Spain, The most famous is "The camino Frances" the French road.
The shells are the symbol of the pilgrims and everybody carries the shells with them...We took lot of photos and I have plenty angel photos from that trip. Somehow after the trip made change in my life... This blog is one of the results of those hours spent on the bicycle thinking about your purpose in life and what you really would like to do about your life... If you are thinking about doing the pilgrim road don't hesitate to contact me if you want any information...
