KEY IDEAS
OF THE SANTIAGO
-THERAPY OR
CAMINOTHERAPY
There are as many individuals as there are ways to travel the Ways of Santiago. It is a unique experience that allows you to open a parenthesis in your daily life. Pilgrims are encouraged to go beyond their limits, both physical and mental. At the end of this journey, many of them come back changed. This is why some wish to pass on what this pilgrimage to themselves and others has brought them. I share with you in the You Tube videos below what is in my eyes the philosophy of the path.
Good journey :-)
