Years ago, I remember staring at a map of the different Caminos. OK, that part is hardly unusual, even today. But at that time I was focused on the blank.
Driving into Galicia on the A8 motorway that runs across the north of Spain is a very spectacular journey. The highway ribbons around the great mountains of the Picos de Europa, over gorgeous gorges and through dark tunnels. The Atlantic to your right appears and disappears, flashing glimpses of sandy beaches and alluring villages from the Basque Country through Cantabria and Asturias.
