Dad asked me today if I was hiking with people, and to take pictures of people. Fair asks, and I can see why you’d think people aren’t a part of the Camino – I take about 1000 pics of the amazing scenery for every 1 of people. People are actually one of the best things about this journey, especially when the day’s walking is done, and I should include them more.

So, Dad, I present to you clockwise, me, an Irish, an Italian, another Italian, a Dutch, another Dutch, an American. We’re sitting in a restaurant in Estella awaiting our daily three-course Menú del Peregrino, which is usually around €13, including wine.
