Lorenzo "Peregrino" Merin gives us a live update from the Camino Frances and shows us that the Camino is coming back to life! He did this interview from the garden of an albergue and you'll get to feel like you are on the Camino as we got to meet a couple of other pilgrims currently walking. You'll gain great advice from this interview on what to expect if you are going to walk this summer. Lorenzo shares so many heartwarming stories from his many walks starting from his first Pilgrimage in 1993. He loves the Camino so much that it has become his vocation. He lives on the Camino Ingles and gives back by facilitating Camino walks for other Pilgrims. In this interview, you will hear some great stories about Don Elías Valiña, the parish priest in O Cebreiro who revitalized the Camino by creating the idea of the yellow arrow markers, and how the Camino transformed Lorenzo's life and taught him so many great life lessons. Lorenzo has a Pilgrim's heart. He brought me to tears several times during the interview. During this interview, I could feel the energy of the Camino alive and kicking!  I'm so looking forward to my next time on the Camino! Please subscribe, share and comment. Let us know you enjoyed the interview with a thumbs-up and a comment. It helps us keep our Camino Spirit strong.  We love connecting with other Pilgrims who have walked and/or are planning to walk!
