Camino de Santiago

Yes.

And then there's a Camino celebratory get-together in McNamara's Bar at 9pm.

Yes.

So that should be a very nice evening.

bit of crack and a bit of getting together and general chat and what have you.

Yes.

In fact, after this programme on the radio here, where the Camino of Hope that was recorded during the Harbour Festival in Scarif last August, where the bishop led the walk, the Camino walk from Scarif up to the mast rock, I think that programme is going on between 7 and 8 tonight, so you can listen to that.

That

That's from the Libres Vernel, which is a medieval manuscript.

It's possibly a pilgrim song for pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago who would have been on their way to Santiago de Compostela.

And there are other words associated with that already.

But I married these words with it.

so what will usually happen with us anyway, is that people will approach it from one of the great trails.

and they'll do the Camino de Santiago first, or the Tour de Mont Blanc, or they'll do the Coast to Coast first.

And if they like it, they'll maybe realize, gosh, that was amazing.

That was amazing.

And then they say, right, actually, though, there were a lot of people on that trail.

So 55,000 people on the West Highland Way.

Same on the Camino de Santiago.

There's a lot of people.

And you remind me of the first time you and I met.

I had just walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain and had performed some concerts there and then flew to Paris in a room with people whose primary language was French, with the exception of you who speak French very well, but your primary language is Spanish.

But you were one of the few guys who would speak English to me in that boardroom.

Uh, and I remember you pulling me aside and saying, I really liked the way that your data works.

Oh, that's a great question.

Yeah, the Camino de Santiago was the one specifically I did.

And I was with a group.

And so I had somebody guiding and guiding in terms of like it's pretty straightforward where you go, but guiding in terms of holding the space.

By designating Our Lady of Boulogne as in this wonderful designation, the medieval church emphasized that her sanctuary was not merely dedicated to a statue about Mary, but was home to a divinely gifted object sent directly from heaven to the shores of France.

Because of the location of the apparition and the discovery of Our Lady, Bologna-sur-Mer became a staging ground for the Camino de Santiago de Compostela, and a pilgrim destination.

The town sits on a recognized historic northern European feeder route.

It's called the Jacobean Way or Chemin de Saint-Jacques.

And I talked to a girl just a few weeks ago who'd done the whole pilgrimage thing.

She'd done the Camino Trail in France and Spain,

walked

that thousand kilometers, got to the beach, sat on the beach and said, I haven't found the answer.

Let us leave real estate completely for a few minutes.

For years, you had this idea that you wanted to walk the Camino Trail in Spain.

Mm hmm.

You'd even told your boss years earlier that one day you were going to do it and that you were going to need six weeks off to do it.

I, well, and yes to all of that, but I had a really great foot routine.

I won't go into the details of it, but I practiced this foot routine every single morning.

And I was the only person on the Camino that I know that didn't get a blister.

You need to share that advice and save feet all over
