route, that despite the fact that he's an atheist and is recovering from actively a covert infection. ah, ah, lee, on spain's atlantic coast, it's 6 am when manolo begin his journey. it's more than a 100 kilometers to santiago. he wants to cover the distance in 3 days. when i leave it this time, i read that i feel much more alive. this in which it's a completely different feeling on this, you know, in the thought of i couldn't sets off at 10 in the morning and i was your darling did the i know is ways in early riser, even back home and saturday, may about phenomena. he's a lawyer,

and around this time he'd almost be at his desk at the lawton. but here, the 65 year old let himself be driven by his inner impulses. and by nature, the truth. this lie. good 3rd thing in the, if these are when you are home in your city or village inside tunnel, you don't feel that way. you don't perceive it or not have it here. you can enjoy real life. the law that he's after get home. i not every pilgrim is as committed

pilgrimage. 24 years ago. he had a new operation and wanted physical exercise. he also wanted to test himself. the religious side of the camino is foreign to him. yet there he, i'm an, a god lidiam saying some walking give me a lot, nothing religious. there are a lot of everything for the letter. it gives me physical and spiritual strength and a lot of line. i mean, when i come to find myself, you know, when i get home after a while, my nurse tends up again because of what the stressful place i life love, native you of lucky that and my wife and my daughter say this. i mean, i know low. maybe it's time to set off walking again. yeah. so if i go again on the camino and i come back in new math camino via the government, i'm going to will he be fit in the a the, the in finish. their manolo has his pilgrim passports,

them to prove he was here to get his certificate or compet stella. he has to walk at least 100 kilometer. good morning. can i get the pilgrim stand pen cheaper for for over a 1000 years, people from all around the world have been making the pilgrimage to santiago, the supposed burial place. the saint james in spain's can leave the region. the locals pilgrims are simply part of life. even then neither of these 2 have actually become you know, to san diego, happy to chat with my no, no no, i'm good with the pilgrims. life here has changed people who there's more tourism as much in the beginning. they weren't welcome from other people, saw them. hey, bill, you know people with no money who were just a nuisance older today,

we are an economic factor in the finish their region, the standard. since the 970 amino santiago is popularity searched in 2019, before the pandemic, maybe 350000 people went on the pilgrimage for all sorts of reasons. matthew, and i mean it makes me person when he got the muslim unit. normally i'm not so open and now going around other people in here. i saw a couple. everything like a sponge. you know, i want to talk to everyone. camino does the changes the internet. ah, like i mean the traditional greeting among pilgrim's in when camino meaning good path. so we'll have a good journey. after 46 kilometers and 10 straight hours of walking minute reaches his 1st goal, hustling or they give you another pilgrim of

a 1000 to have the fastest of them all. how are your wounded? well, we haven't changed her 7 great sailor, better than the 1st aid kit. when i push more, my normal channels with some of the pilgrims during the day for today from the town of nikita now, manolo is known almost wherever he goes, making you connections with people. is part of the experience. and the last and you get to know people without any preconception, then all i have on them because something's just don't matter hair that all they don't know. and you also don't know if you'll ever see each other again. and there was some really authentic connections come about and very quickly out and now for a month might avia ah, ah, the next day?

35 kilometers the wait to my no, no ah ah ah, it's a struggle. the distance takes its toll, his feet get through, but that's nothing to what he went through last year. the corona virus infection hit him hard and he even ended up in the hospital. he still feels weakened because of it. and with the recovery from kobe and left the hospital, it was just something was missing it all there now, and i be able to return to the camino de santiago despite the virus and all the difficult. it's like having an additional, like they said, the 2nd line, but all right, bruce say will be that you should be, the effect of the pandemic were felt everywhere. here,

board closures and locked downs. many few pilgrims visiting hospitals and restaurants. now publicans like pac lopez slowly trying to get back on messy important. it's important that people are coming back and it feels good level. it helps us forget the past year with that and you give me a minute. no. keeps moving. he doesn't like taking long breaks all in all. he's a ready covers more than 20000 kilometers on the camino de santiago. not that he's interested in setting records. it just turned out that way. and just so you. but i think i'm hyperactive was a start, but i was a comment. i'm still a little on. yes, i will come off and go to the hospital hotel. it's 11 or 12 o'clock. i couldn't just stay there until the next day. that would kill me, maria, and even if i'm moving very fast on camino, i don't, i don't know. sounds on in the same thing. ok. after $35.00, canano henderson,

7 and a half hours, he reaches nicholas my nana beth's adelaide, the beginning of the night to morrow will be hot. it's no walk in the past because i'm in or that long as i warm up, it'll be fine. of course i always try to reach my limit that helps in life. if i know what my limits all was hiking, like a know, and they are my personal and professional life. if you need to come up, i know how far i can go. and i can always go a bit further with your mom. i one day 3 manolo has to hike another 22 kilometers. but finally, he's nearing santiago. the goal of all the pilgrims from the camino. ah,

you got us on the arriving here is different every time and money that but it always feels different system but sometimes you'll overcome by emotion and sometimes fatigue. but i don't think any of the 99 times have been the same for them. and they do that all the after 103 kilometers, he's done. his next image will be his $100.00. my know, know is given his native compost certificates in latin with the sample the cathedral effect. and we're not really going to see him, but i mean, we have hundreds, camino de santiago will be something very special and personal for me if you want. anyone else there it is. me really that there i'd like to feel really on my own

for now he wants to re unite with an old friend, so to speak. in the cathedral of santiago de campos de la saint james, said to be buried here. standing face to face with the saint is enough to make even the atheist manolo feel devout. he says that when he dies, he would like it to be on camino de santiago. if he could be the circle of light opposes with them. again, i'm not afraid of it, is it? and i'm no stranger to it, you know, in fact, it, when it approaches me, i want it to happen in the place that gives me like the middle of camino de santiago in the san diego. ah ah, ah.
