This is a different way to experience the Cammino of Santiago: do not travel through it at all, but only in some places in one of the luoghi traversati ogni giorno dai pellegrini.
To Las Herrerías de Valcarce, in the province of León and shortly after the living room verse O Cebreiro, if nearby volunteers are willing to spend at least a month collaborating in the daily life of a structure dedicated to the accommodation of the people.
The proposal will bring attention to the possibility of living for some seven days in one of the most well-known places of the French Way, circled by the skins that come from all over the world.
Alloggio and pasti in exchange for collaboration
Not if you are trying to get a free vacation. The proposal works as a voluntary experience: the participant collaborates in the daily activities of the structure, in the first place and in all necessary competitions.
Instead, we offer food and three vegetarian pastries to the day.
The minimum stay required is one month, so the wait is intended for people who can dedicate several days to the project and really insert it into the life of the luogo.
Bisogna has been at least 23 years old
The requirements indicated above are also a minimum of 23 years.
The experience is interesting because you want to live something different, take a break from the routine and get to know the Cammino of Santiago with a completely different perspective.
Ogni giorno, infatti, atraverso que este zona pellegrini passano de numerous nazionalità, con storie, motivations y destinazioni diverse.
All the doors of O Cebreiro
The Valcarce Ironworks are one of the most emblematic points of the French Way.
Per molti pellegrini rappresenta delle ultime località prima della salita verso O Cebreiro, uno dei luoghi simbolo dell'itinerario jacobeo e porta d'ingresso in Galizia per chi arriva longo il Cammino Francese.
For much of the year, walking, walking sticks and bicycles have been part of the local daily life.
It is this position to render the diverse experience of a conventional volunteer: who is in contact with the Way is continuous.
A different way to get to know the Camino
Because you have arrived in Santiago, you will participate in a project of this type because there is a way to return to the road without necessarily having to run through a new century of chilometri.
Per chi invece non ha mai fatto, può rappresentare un'occasione per conoscere dall'interno il world dell'acccoglienza dei pellegrini.
Come for any voluntary experience, it is important to know first of all the conditions, and compete richest and the duration of the summer.
This proposal shows communication about another reality of the Cammino di Santiago: migliaia di persone not if they limit themselves to walking along it. I may decide to go on leave for a period and spend part of my life on the route that is broken.

The sign that baffles pilgrims
On the Camino de Santiago one soon learns to look at the signs. Yellow arrows, scallops, cairns and small indicators become inseparable companions for hundreds of kilometers. But in Vilamartín de Valdeorras, in the middle of the Camino de Invierno, a traffic sign has achieved precisely the opposite: attracting attention and causing surprise among those...
