Since the 10th century pilgrims have made their
way to Santiago de Compostela via a network of trails known as the Camino de
Santiago (or, in French, le Chemin de Saint Jacques).
Krishna and Bonnie Arora, members of the La Jolla Golden
Triangle Rotary Club, have walked 830 miles of the 1000 mile pilgrimage route
from Le Puy en Velay in France
to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. In 2005, they walked 500 miles from Roncesvalles,
in northern Spain,
to Santiago de Compostela. In 2011 and
2012, they walked the first parts of the French route from Le Puy en Velay to
Figeac to Condom.
In 2013, from April 20 – May 3, they plan to walk the last
part of the French route, from Condom, France, to Roncesvalles,
Spain. This journey will get them from France to Spain,
over the Pyrenees and tie together a
pilgrimage of 1000 miles.
