Hello dear friend. You are right: those small villages on the Camino de Santiago, still retain much of its medieval setting and really, it is a fascinating pleasure to get lost for them. As you can see, the slopes are important, keeping the old custom (which already came from the times of Vitruvius and the old Celtiberian castros) to put the cities in a staggered way below the temples or the fortresses. The use of trekking poles, I assure you that it is very widespread among the thousands of pilgrims who make the Camino throughout the year. A cordial greeting and grateful for your visit.

It's always a pleasure to visit your posts @juancar347, we love the way you walk us through your journeys with a lot of thoughts and history. Are you doing the Camino?

Hello, dear friend @mrprofessor. The Camino is something very relative. Actually, currently we should talk about 'Caminos', because there are multiple routes, crossing Spain across the length and breadth, into Compostela. More than a pilgrim to use, I am a Traveler and I hope he does not sound like a prepotent, but I am fortunate to have been born in a truly multicolored and multicultural country, for which I feel a great fascination. For me it is a pride to show it to the world, to the extent of my possibilities, and my efforts are redoubled when I observe, because they let me know, like you now, that my dedication can come to like and be interesting to another person . Many thanks and a strong hug
