Plastic is everywhere in our lives, but some plastics are more harmful than others. The Camino de Santiago is one of the best-known pilgrimages in the world, with thousands of walkers every year. This means it has its fair share of plastic litter. 

In 2019, Sandra and Carla from Plastic Free Camino decided to walk the Camino from Estella to Burgos – a total of 172 km - and pick up all the plastic they saw along the way. The idea came about while the pair were walking in the Dublin mountains and noticed how much plastic pollution there was. 

Sandra was kind enough to share some of her insights and thoughts about the Plastic Free Camino Project with Follow the Camino. 

She talks about:

- how they chose the Camino route that they walked

- why they decided to focus on plastic waste

- how the Plastic Free Camino went

- what they learned and felt along the Camino

- and what they would do differently if they were to do it again.
