You’ll learn about the centuries old Camino de Santiago, a 500-mile historical “pilgrimage,” which begins in St. Jean du Port, France, traverses northern Spain through Pamplona, Burgos, and Leon, and ends at the Cathedral de Santiago. In 2023 and 2024 nearly 500,000 “pilgrims” from all over the world have completed the Camino. A brief history of its origins, traditions, and topography will be accompanied with photos taken recently on Karen’s 10th Camino with her husband, Rich. You will also learn about the practicalities of planning for a trip and why it’s so compelling for so many. 

Instructor: Karen Carothers, and her husband, Rich have just returned from their 10th Camino.
