I just got back from Spain and can also tell you countless stories of kindness from people that lived there and from those on the Camino. Good job! Cheers, Michael
Do tell us at least one story.
There were so many!! Here’s one that touched me. Sue (my Australian walking companion) and I were in a village at the beginning of the climb to O Cebreiro (a massive climb!) and there was an elderly lady (in her 80’s) walking down the road. I happen to speak fluent Spanish so I jokingly said to her, “Have you come down off the mountain?” She laughed and while holding my hand and stroking it told me to make sure that I put my jacket on because it was cold and to make sure to eat before the climb and drink plenty of water. She was a kind soul with a vibrant twinkle in her eye! This was one of the moments that make the Camino special. Cheers, Michael
How sweet she was! You have many memories to cherish.

If you want to hear another account of kindness on the Camino go to my blog and see my post titled, A Special Gift.
Okay. I’ll do that today.
