One of the really great things about walking the Camino is the people you meet along The Way. We can't say enough good things about the Portuguese and Spanish people who have so graciously welcomed us into their countries.
Along The Way one makes many Camino friends. It's always a highlight to bump into fellow pilgrims whether on the trail or in a cafe or at the albergue. After seven days on the trail, we now regularly see familiar faces. Unfortunately, mostly due to different walking paces, we only see some folks once. But, that's the way of the Camino.
We met Philip (Germany) and Kiera (Italy) just yesterday. They met on the Camino two years ago and are celebrating their anniversary by walking the same route again and are staying in the same places as they did on their first Camino.
We've been lucky enough to meet up with Less and Meta (Denmark) and Wolf and Stephanie (Germany) on several occasions including lunch today just outside O Porriño. We seem to be on a similar schedule so I anticipate more meeting on down the road.
And of course, there are the local friends who regularly greet us as we walk by where they live. Some are friendlier than others, but always fun to chat a moment or two with.
