Sandra set off on the Portuguese Camino de Santiago at a time when she needed to find direction and lightness in her life. With few resources and a lot of courage, she lived a remarkable experience full of challenges, from painful blisters on her feet to long days of overcoming them. But it was also on the Camino that she met unforgettable people and rediscovered the strength of bonds like that of her sister. A journey of teachings, simplicity and gratitude that continues to inspire her to this day.

Today we're sharing an interview with Vânia, who year after year sees pilgrims passing by the place where she works and stamps their credentials.

Despite the difficulties, this experience proved to be enriching and transformative.

Today we share the experience of Patrícia, a pilgrim who, after feeling a strong call in August, began the Portuguese Camino de Santiago on October 1. It wasn't until she reached Santiago that she truly understood the depth and purpose of her journey. She prepared herself carefully, following the guidelines in our book, and although she had planned to set off alone, she ended up meeting a companion, Ana, and other people who joined the journey, making the experience even richer.

Today we're sharing an interview with Carlos, who decided to walk the Camino de Santiago with his wife, motivated by his Christian faith and his desire for a spiritual encounter with Jesus through St. James.

The Way became not only an experience of prayer and reflection, but also a unique opportunity to share a journey together, strengthening their walk together.
