Today we start this blog doing a little presentation of our project.
We are a school from Valencia, called Sagrada Familia PJO, and we will prepare the last five parts of the French Santiago´s way, it will take place in June 2015.
When are we going to do the trip?
This year (2015), we want to do this trip in June of 2015. It will
take one day to go and return and five days walking during the
Santiago´s way.
I firstly propose this day for several reasons:
1. It is a period that takes place between the first and second term
without exams, an ideal moment to prepare a project with this
features without negatively influencing (in fact, we take the view
that it would be positive) in the academic performance of the
student-pilgrim.
2. The weather in this season of the year is benevolent, without the
very low temperatures of winter and without the very high
temperatures of summer. To perform a physical exercise of this
magnitude, I think it is the perfect time.
3. The dates make the road uncrowded, as often happens in the summer and
holiday periods of Easter. And it is a great advantage to be able to
enjoy it without the crowds. In addition there are many more
possibilities to find shelter in these later times than not.
Referring to the hostel, I would like to say that we could contact
schools and parishes to give us shelter or go to shelters for
pilgrims who share hospitality.
