The\xa0Camino de Santiago\xa0(also known as\xa0The Way, Camino Franc\xe9s\xa0and others) \u2013 the 500-mile path that starts just over the border of Spain in St. Jean Pied de Port, France. From there, the Camino winds through 4 of Spain\u2019s 15 different regions.\n\nFirst, travelers make the grueling trek up and over the Pyrenees Mountains, and descend into Navarra \u2013 a vibrant, green expanse of mountainous highlands and home to the famous Running of the Bulls in Pamplona. Next, they pass through La Rioja \u2013 full of rich vineyards that produce the wine for which this small region is famous. The bulk of the Camino passes through Castilla y Le\xf3n \u2013 in which lies a terrain that many find to be the most challenging \u2013 the Meseta. This flat, seemingly endless landscape of green and wheat colored crops is said to remove all external distraction, leaving a pilgrim with only their thoughts for company.\n\nA rare few do the Camino in as little as 20 days, trekking close to 25 miles a day. The majority of pilgrims take between 4 and 6 weeks to walk the entire 500-mile journey. Though it is traditional to walk the Camino on foot, some elect to do it by bicycle or horse. Whatever one\u2019s method of transportation, whichever Camino one chooses to do, and however fast one\u2019s pace is, each of the millions who have stepped foot on the Camino feel its inexplicable magic and are forever changed by it.\n\nDon't miss another\xa0special 'Camino' show with Christopher and his good friend, Jean Callanan, who has traveled the Camino, and will be sharing some advice on how to prepare for your Camino, some great websites, books and other valuable Camino resources!
