Through the whole of Spain on foot - part 1

THE WAY OF ST JAMES: THE ROAD AS A TEST OF THE SOUL AND BODY, Eric and Zoe, artists Pilgrimage means for the soul the same as the rest for the weary mind and body. (S. Kumar, a player of Indian cricket club "Assam") It's been a long time since we wrote about his travels, but we decided that tell you about one of our latest travel after return to Europe. We believe that our notes on the travels are very useful for ourselves, when we plan future trips. In addition, from the letters that we receive, we realized that many other People also believe that our experience is useful for them. We decided instead to describe our stay in Spain, day after day, to share our story into chapters to make it easier to read. Let's hope that, along with photos we get a coherent story . We also hope that if someone wants to learn more about the Way of St. James, our comments will be useful to him. From time to time our trip was one of the most difficult and painful, but it also brought us much joy and excitement. We even decided that when will walk the entire route, a fountain from a bottle of champagne, as after the completion of road and bicycle races. We can not really list everything that happened to us - we were invited to the elders in the small local houses, were treated to wine and Empanada (pastry with filling) We wade the river, because it is so wet, that we already had all the same, but at the same time on the same day had to go through another 20 kms, good innkeeper, sheltered us, dripping and shivering, in a room above his pub, did not take money for billeting and yes even entertained the best dinner in the world, we met a man very much like Abraham Lincoln, who showed us to our hotel, one Korean was convinced that a Gypsy, which we walked together, was a witch (seriously!). We had to deal with bedbugs, we enjoyed the warmth of the hotel, meeting with friends, with whom broke for lunch two weeks before and that is no longer hoped to see. We are glad to red wine all night, but in the morning, going on a journey, we were joined by drunk as a lord Spaniards who went home and wanted to wish us luck! We also met with walkers, who wanting to dry their shoes on an open fire, set fire to it, and along with his clothes, nearly all the hotel ... slept with us so much happened, so much is left in memory.
