Id like to start by asking you - why the Way of Saint James? What was the motivation that has driven you to do the Way of Saint James more than 4 times already?
00:01:47.550] - Wanda
Compared to other types of holidays what do you consider special about the Way of Saint James that makes people go and repeat it over and over again?
00:03:33.000] - Wanda
I know that the third time you did the Camino de Santiago you went with your daughter and then returned a fourth time with all your children. Tell me about your experience, what motivated you to share this wonderful experience with your children.
00:05:48.950] - Wanda
Right, many of our clients talk about how beneficial the Camino is for bonding with your loved ones, for reconnecting. Do you feel that this experience with your children has improved your relationship with them?
00:08:04.700] - Wanda
Wow, thats deep! And speaking of those moments of “oh I cant”, “Im tired”! How did you prepare to do the Camino de Santiago, physically?
00:11:10,500] - Wanda
What recommendation would you give to those parents who would like to do the Camino, but who see it as a bit difficult? Would you recommend it?
00:13:36.100] - Wanda
Very good, and now I would like to know a little bit more about what those most memorable moments of your experience that you will never forget were.
00:18:49.150] - Wanda
And, well, to finish Jorge, I would like to ask you: will you go back on the Camino? Is there a new route of the Camino in sight, perhaps a new one? I know youve been on the French Way, the Aragonese Way, tell me.
