Hiking the Camino Portuguese

I don’t exactly remember how I heard about the Camino De Santiago, but it sounded really nice. The Camino is typically walked as a pilgrimage for spiritual reasons. According to Americanpilgrims.org “As of December 9, 2023, more than 443,000 Compostelas have been issued by the Pilgrim's Office!”

These places need our support, our words, our praises, and our advocacy. As much as they would like to, they can’t protect themselves.
