BECOMING A PILGRIM WHILE ON THE CAMINO After completing the Camino from Sarria to Santiago, Paul from Ireland is getting ready to do the Camino Primitivo the fast way. This isn't for everyone, and it brings up some good questions, like:  >> What is a pilgrim?  >> Do you have to be a pilgrim to "do" the Camino?  >> Is it possible to become a pilgrim?  >> Whose opinion matters here? We also talk about finding spirituality along the Way, what you need to know about the weather, and a few top experiences in Santiago.   WALK WITH ME IN 2024!

Once you submit your registration form, you will receive a QR code by email. Keep that email and show it to the person at the front door of the pilgrim's office when you arrive. They will then instruct you as to the next step. The most current Credenciales have a QR code that leads you to the registration webpage. If your Credencial doesn't have the code, follow this link: https://oficinadelperegrino.com/en/sigle-register/   Related: Learn more about the Celtic Camino in Ireland that we talked about in this episode: https://www.caminosociety.ie/celtic-camino-v1   #youonthecamino #caminodesantiago #firsttimepilgrim #thecaminoexperience #caminopodcast
