On the threshold of Astorga, the paths of multiple pilgrims converge in a silent embrace, marking the beginning of the definitive journey. Here, in this corner where the earth meets the sky, my path to the unexplored begins.

A whisper of mystery and wonder still lingers in my senses from the magical Astorga. The cobbled streets, the majestic Cathedral of Astorga and the enigmatic Gaudí Castle melt into my memory. A mystical touch, a sensation beyond words, enveloped me like an ancestral veil.

On the horizon, an old Vespa, the witness of time, says goodbye to me. The path is dyed yellow, a color that transcends the earthly, marking the path to follow. In each step, in each meeting, the air throbs with a unique energy; the path, an embrace of wandering souls searching for resonance.

The journey begins, a dance of sleep and wakefulness, of nourishing the body and the soul with each step and each bite. I share words and laughter with fellow sufferers and hopes, a community of bold dreamers. Each one treasures a secret reason in their hearts, a reason to undertake this journey.
