This class is for those who would like to learn about The Camino, and for those who are already planning to walk it one day.

For thousands of years people of all beliefs have walked the ancient Way of Stars, or Camino de Santiago trail across Spain for adventure, retreat and spiritual growth. It began in 812 AD, and is walked by hundreds of thousands of people each year. It's an amazing experience.
