Hiking Camino Frances to Santiago de Compostela by Jan Dierks August, 23rd of 2013 I started my camino from a small city in the Netherlands, called Fijnaart. You can read all my camino days in this weblog. I hope you get a lot of pleasure from reading my stories. Jan Dierks It was a big experience being so long from home. But I have met a lot of nice people, who were also on Santiago de Compostela. It was a great pleasure meeting them during these 500 miles. I like to thank all men and women for their friendship during my camino. A special “ THANKS ” for Michael Mihalik who helped me by the translations from the Dutch language into the English language
