I have done the Camino, it’s wonderful. Be sure to go to Mass at the Cathedral in Santiago and see the Botafumiero at the end of the service. Be at the Cathedral an hour before Mass to get a seat. When I went to see the tomb of St. James, I was the only one in the room at the time, it was quite a spiritual experience.

Please post your experiences when you return.

For those who don’t know, like me:

And Santiago is Spanish for Saint James.
