Recorded on the very first evening of my Camino journey from Porto, this spontaneous dinner-table conversation captures what the Camino is really about — connection.

Around one table sat a Belgian pilgrim, an Italian traveller, and two 70-year-old Australians who had already walked countless miles. Over shared food, laughter, and reflection, we spoke about what brought us here, what we were leaving behind, and what we hoped to find along The Way.

Sometimes the pilgrimage begins not with the first step — but with the first shared story.

🎧 Join us for this unscripted moment of camaraderie and wisdom from the heart of the Camino Portugués.
