“We were welcomed for 1,600 km, so we now welcome at the 150th
kilometre. Going to Santiago, you lighten your load and your mind, you get
back to basics. When they stop off with us, they fill us with their uniqueness.
Here, itʼs not real life, itʼs a parallel world. They are from every continent,
every language, every culture. Whether theyʼre religious, nonbelievers or
fitness walkers, their footsteps will follow the same course as anyone elseʼs.
Along the axis of the Milky Way (ʻcampo stellaeʼ) they walk towards
Compostela or the end of the world. They walk along a thin line that
broadens your mind and lightens your load.”
