It’s no secret that I love walking the Camino de Santiago. Over the years I have been fortunate to meet many folks who play a very active role in ensuring the camino routes that we know and love are well maintained and marked. There are other folks who create and support pilgrim accommodation and pilgrim support groups and others still who work to support the Pilgrim Offices in France and Spain.

One such pilgrim is Rebekah. She’s amazing! She has dedicated so much to the Camino and I so admire her. One the group that she organises each year is called Ditch Pigs. She puts out a call for pilgrims to gather and collect litter. She arranges funds, accommodation, food and transport and then she co-ordinates everything on the ground when we arrive… and she also collects litter! And I should add that this is just one of the many many activities that she undertakes throughout the year! You can find out more on her website… and you can also make a donation! https://www.peaceableprojects.org/about

The locals call us swallows. We fly down south in winter and then head north again in spring; I think it’s a fair description. As with other years we’ve spent the last few weeks enjoying the glorious winter sun of southern Spain. We’re in Axarquia, east of Malaga, in the hills above Frigiliana.
