The Camino changes as you walk it. First the body takes a beating, then the mind, and in the end something else carries you.
1. Physical
Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port → Burgos · days 1–11
The Pyrenees, the rain, the blisters. The body meets the mountain and learns to carry.
Start here
2. Mental
Burgos → León · days 12–17
The Meseta: a straight road, no signal, nothing to hide behind.
Out onto the Meseta
3. Spiritual
León → Santiago · days 18–28
Cruz de Ferro, O Cebreiro and the final kilometres into the cathedral.
Towards SantiagoWho is PA – and why did he walk
My name is PA Gullö. In the autumn of 2025 I walked 779 kilometres in 28 days, from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port in France to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. My phone died at the airport before the journey had even begun, and through the aircraft window I saw the Pyrenees – what the plane needed several minutes to cross, I was about to walk over on foot.
Along the way I recorded twenty podcast conversations with people who know more than I do: about the body, the mind, the history and the things that are harder to put into words. This is what I learned – day by day, tip by tip.
