Hola!
Since last Sunday (18th of November) I left Santiago de Compostella to follow another pelgrimroute.. The french one, but then in the other direction... On my way I met lot´s of people who look forward to finally reach Santiago and I just came from there.. it´s a bit funny...

On the 18th of November there was an Ecological and Biological festival ¨Terra@ctiva¨ in Arzua, which I wanted to visit (which was on this route) so that´s why I left this date. The festival was really interesting. There were several workshops (for example vegan cooking workshops and how to make your own toothpaste) and presentations (I went to one about ecovillages and living communities). Also there was a market with eco and bio products.. Really nice to buy some vegetables for my trip. The dinner in the afternoon (a Xantar Popular as they call it here) was really traditional... So meat, fish and some bread... nothing for vegetarians.. I was a bit amazed... 
(more about the festival: http://www.terractiva.org/index.asp)

At the moment I'm already on my third stop on the way to Pamplona.. My plan is to cycle there by following the path and then take a train to Barcelona from there, to be in time for Christmas!
