20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Top of the Mountain, High Hospitales Route

Hiking on the Camino Primitivo de Santiago. Although it was a stormy day, we conquered the high hospitales route. This route goes by the ruins of the old hospitales, which were hostels run by priests back in medieval times. Walking in the steps of so many pilgrims was a humbling and exhilarating experience.
