For many people, this is the beginning of a spiritual roads; some souls, looking deep inside themselves, in a natural and peaceful setting, in the silence of the holy places, in the sharing with the other pilgrims. Walking along those trails makes people feel part of a larger family; it creates a sense of belonging; since we are easy and informal, the pilgrimage turns into an experience in sharing and friendship. It is a challenging experience as it requires continuous physical efforts. Walking 15 to 30 km for day for several days, gives people the possibility to test the capabilities and sometimes to go beyond.
