ON OUR WAY TO SANTIAGO!<\/strong><\/p>

From October 2-12, students enrolled in the University of Virginia in Valencia Program will have the chance to walk part of St.James\u00b4Way (Camino de Santiago) with us. We start at Ponferrada, and for ten days, walk through the regions of Castille and Galicia, winding up in Santiago de Compostela, where the journey ends and the memories begin: memories stored up during our days of hiking, that will stay with us for many years. \u00a8The Camino is not only about reaching Santiago, but also about the journey itself\u00a8<\/strong><\/em><\/p>

On our trip, we will experience the architecture, the history, the food, and the culture\u2026, forged over more than 12 centuries by all the pilgrims who, out of devotion, penitence or for other reasons, have made this way their own personal way of learning, of searching, of bonding friendships, of sacrifice. For ten days we will be walking from 25 to 30 kms. per day, with our backpacks on our shoulders, side by side with our travel companions. There will be good days, so-so days, and bad days. Some days will be rainy, others sunny, some hot, some cold. None of this will hold up the march. At the end of the day, after a long, hard trek, we will be able to lighten our load by sharing our experiences with some friend from the trail. That\u2019s what the Camino is all about.<\/p>

You don\u2019t have to be an athlete to walk the Camino, just be in good physical condition. This means that you are able to walk for 7 or 8 hours without many problems. (Getting tired is not a problem: everybody\u2019s tired after walking for 7 hours!) Even the most veteran trekkers or runners at some point along the Camino end up with blisters, swollen feet, scratches, brush burns\u2026 This shouldn\u2019t worry you, since it\u2019s all part of walking the Camino.<\/p>

It\u2019s important to read the itinerary where it explains: where you are going to sleep, daily kilometer coverage, necessary things to pack, and then decide whether or not you are ready to walk 220Km. in 10 days, with a loaded backpack on your shoulders. If you\u2019re interested you can get more information at: david@uvavalencia.org<\/a> There are a limited number of spots, so if you\u2019re interested, sign up now! Students who are accepted on the trip will be selected from this signup list, strictly on a first-come-first-serve basis until the group is full. Come along with us, and we\u2019ll have a great time. The Camino de Santiago is a unique experience: days of hiking will make your body feel in tune with nature. We\u2019ll see spectacular views; take in beautiful works of Romanesque architecture; enjoy the hospitality of \u201cother kinds\u201d of people who we\u2019ll meet every day along the Way. No matter what your reason is for doing the Camino, in the end it will become a process of self-renovation that will make you look at life from a new angle. One thing is for sure, and that is you\u2019ll never forget the days you spent on the Camino. SEE YOU SOON. david@uvavalencia.org<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
