International Pilgrimage 2010

To Santiago de Compostella, Spain Nine-Day Walking Pilgrimage Camino de Santiago – like Jerusalem and Rome – is one of the great Christian pilgrimage destinations and goes back to the Middle Ages.

This year’s Slí Eile Pilgrimage will commence at Logrogno and finish at Burgos, 127 km in all. Our goal is to walk for six or seven days. The physical challenge is part of the ancient pilgrimage tradition. It requires physical preparation But the heart of the physical experience is the person’s inner journey. This year is a Holy year on the Camino de Santiago and that makes it a little bit more special. For more details log on to www.sli-eile.com.
