Walking the Camino de Santiago - What It Is and How It's Done

The Camino de Santiago is more than a long-distance walk across Spain - it’s a journey through history, culture, and something deeper.

In this engaging talk, David Box draws on his own Camino experience, including fluent Spanish, to guide you through what it really takes to prepare for and complete the walk - whether the whole 800km+, or the last 100km (qualifying for the "Compostela Certificate").

You’ll learn about:

• The different Camino routes and what they offer

• What a typical day on the trail is actually like

• Physical preparation, gear, and planning essentials

• Common challenges and how to manage them

Beyond the practical, this session explores why over half a million people each year, from all over the world, are drawn to the Camino - and why many describe it as a turning point in their lives.

Whether you’re considering walking it, or simply curious, this talk will give you a clear, grounded, and inspiring introduction to one of the world’s great journeys.
