Walking on the Saint-James way is a good opportunity to question yourself and evolve. In this adventure, there are plenty of opportunities to go beyond your limits, but you still need to know them well.
It will be about getting out of your comfort zone every day, doing things you've never done, meeting people you probably would never have met.
At the end of each stage, the satisfaction is great : all these kilometers traveled allow you to revalue yourself, strengthen your self-confidence and allow yourself to be better carried away by the providence and the magic of the path.
Walking towards Santiago de Compostela therefore implies for everyone the surpassing of oneself, in other words to try what we believed until then impossible: for some, this corresponds to a daily walk of 15 to 29 km, for others 30 to 40 km. Regardless of the distance, what matters is the maximum intensity of effort specific to each person.
To reach this critical limit, therefore, one should not be afraid of failure. To free yourself from all the pressure, it is probably best not to book accommodation in advance and not to set any goals, simply letting yourself be guided by the signs of fate.
It is important to rely on our day-to-day intuition and above all to listen to the messages sent to us by our body and our heart. It is the surest way to move forward, slowly but surely.
Most pilgrims who have arrived in Santiago de Compostela will tell you. They understood that finally “the path was the destination” and that we must above all take the time to travel it, even if it means making a few detours and breaks before this beautiful breakaway ends. Above all, you will need to know how to take advantage of the slow pace offered by long-distance hiking. It is urgent for you to take your time and enjoy the surrounding landscapes, but also to take an interest in yourself through the practice of introspection.
It is a chance for you, far from the hectic life and the perpetual movement of cities, to really enjoy life at your own pace and above all without feeling guilty.
Hiking for several days in the great outdoors are precious moments of mindfulness that will be forever etched in your memory and your conscience, that no one will ever be able to take away from you.
Our freedom is our greatest wealth.
Buen camino !!!
