Camino de Santiago 2018 

Dear Pilgrim,

Congratulations! You have completed your pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. You are one of over 800 who registered for the Camino de Santiago - 2018. Each year the Camino grows in number and significance; each year new symbolism and traditions are borrowed from the Camino trails, Along the Way, in Spain; each year we attempt to make the Camino experience more meaningful and impactful. 
 
Thank you again for helping to make this year's Camino a memorable event!  We hope to see you again next year for Camino de Santiago 2019, on Saturday, July 27, 2019!
 
Sincerely,
