"It was so, so, so hard, but now that we've crossed today's biggest mountain, I feel a bit relieved...👍 Let's not give up and keep fighting✊️✊️"
Pilgrim Jang * in
"We don't have much left until completion either! We will do our best until the end to complete it healthily🤓"

"With such beautiful scenery here and there along the pilgrimage route, walking while feeling the cool breeze in the morning is completely healing☺️"

"We walked along the river right in front of the accommodation, and beautiful landscapes unfolded wherever we went."

Pilgrim Jo * min
"As the sun rose in earnest and I walked the path, I soon found myself halfway up the mountain!! The village was completely visible below! Only then did it hit me that I had truly come to the pilgrimage route."

Pilgrim Jang * in
"To think I passed through this place!! I didn't realize it when passing by, but looking back, I was surprised at how extremely beautiful it was. I wonder if this is what life is like, haha."

Pilgrim Lee * min
"As soon as they saw us, they asked all at once, 'By any chance, Catholic University...??' I guess this is what it means for minds to connectㅠㅠ"

Pilgrim Park * chae
"Although it's hard, I can feel how quite precious it is to encounter a vast and wild natural landscape like this, which cannot be seen in Korea."

Pilgrim Choi * yeon
"At first, I wished it would end quickly, but hearing that there are only two days left makes me feel somewhat regretful..^.ㅜ "

Pilgrim Lee * ha
"Because we left at dawn, it was very dark, but the stars were visible just as well, so I fully enjoyed the happiness that couldn't be experienced in Korea. 🫶✨🌌"

Pilgrim Choi * ho
"Since everything becomes hot once the morning sun rises, we decided to walk diligently before the morning brightens."

Pilgrim Im * hee
"They often say the pilgrimage route is like life, right? In fact, even when we were planning the Portuguese Route, we didn't know the weather would be this hot,
and we expected even less that our physical condition would change from moment to moment like this.
The pilgrimage route and life are truly things where you don't know even an inch ahead. Maybe that's why I look forward even more to the unpredictable tomorrow."

Pilgrim Choi * yeon
"It is a flower I used to just pass by because it was so familiar in Korea, but encountering it on an unfamiliar path made me stare at it for a long time for some reason."

Pilgrim Jeong * ryeong
"It seems to be a clear advantage that the earlier we wake up, the cooler the environment we can walk in..! It gets hot starting from 10 o'clock!"

Pilgrim Do * jun
"As it became the second day, my body was getting a bit tired, but thanks to the cool morning air and the beautiful coastal scenery, I could feel the charm of the pilgrimage route even more."

Pilgrim Kang * ju
"There were situations different from expectations since the first day, but continuing the schedule while being considerate of each other will likely serve as a great source of strength for the rest of the journey."

Pilgrim Choi * yeon
"Even while everyone says it's hard, they walk smiling on gravel roads, and even on cold days with blowing rain and wind, their mindset of being grateful for a cup of coffee is amazing and makes me want to emulate them a lot."

Pilgrim Hong * ah
"With 5-6km left until arrival, we all joined together and started walking with our last bit of strength. It was hot at this time because the sun was hitting hard and there was no shade, but everyone walked along encouraging each other."

Pilgrim Jeong * hoon
"The Primitivo Route is extremely tough, but the scenery is so beautiful that I think it's worth a challenge at least once."

2026. 07. 01.
Pilgrim Kim * seon
"Every day, arrival is not the end; once we arrive, we wash up, do laundry, grocery shop, find an albergue, do the donkey service, and make dinner, and by then it's 10 o'clock..."

Pilgrim Han * rim
"Carrying this heavy luggage... as I walked this coastal path step by step (PASO)... it was the 2nd day where I walked step-by-step without giving up."

Pilgrim Yang * eun
"Isn't walking at one's own pace precisely the beauty of a pilgrimage?"

Pilgrim Choi * yeon
"I think I really experience many fascinating things after coming to Santiago… At first, it was frustrating and I wanted to go home so badly, but adapting day by day is also fascinating, and I am learning the aesthetics of emptying."

Pilgrim Jeong * hoon
"The Primitivo Route was beautiful. But it also has the downside that my legs hurt just as much!"

Pilgrim Kim * seon
"Although the pilgrimage route, the bag, the albergue,
and even this time writing like this are still very unfamiliar,
I will fall asleep on the first day wishing for it to be a pilgrimage route where we can well record our path, whether it was a good path or a hard path 🖤"

Pilgrim Ahn * woo
"Seeing the 323km mark on the stone sign, I felt a feeling that is truly hard to put into words, as the reality of starting the pilgrimage route again hit me."
