The Saint James' Way

 This is a pilgrimage many people used to do in medieval times. Legend holds St. James was buried in the city of Santiago de Compostela, in the north of Spain (Galicia).
 Whenever St. James's day (25 July) falls on a Sunday, the cathedral declares a Holy or Jubilee Year, with different activities.
 My husband and I did from Roncesvalles (Navarra, near the French frontier) to Burgos (Castile and Leon). During our way we met an Italian man called Luigi. He was walking from Rome because his wife died and he was very sad.
