Pilgrims then and now

I was reading the resources of the pilgrimage. The way to Santiago de Compostebla was different from the past. Many people in the past went to Santiago de Compostebla mostly for religious purpose. And nowadays people take it differently. They walk in their own interest. Some of them do this walk in their personal experience of life and think about what they did in the past and what will they will do in the future. Many people in nowadays like to divide their journey into section. It makes easier for them and they do each section each year. Back in time, pilgrimage has to walk many months to complete this journey and don’t have enough food and the route for difficult to walk. I would like to do this journey and do it as an adventure and have time to think about my future and might get insight of my life.
