The Way
We watched this film yesterday, on Amazon prime, with Martin Sheen and his son Emilio Estevez. It's about walking El Camino de Santiago but with a whole fictional story in it. We both loved it and highly recommend it if you're looking for something a bit different.

I did see the botofumiero. It was supposed to mask the pong from pilgrims in former days. Now it's swung at the end of the Mass. I guess pilgrims now have more opportunities to keep clean and the air doesn't need to be perfumed.
It isn't in use every day but if anyone wants to pay a fee, about €400 now, I think, it will be used.
You're very lucky to have experienced the whole pilgrim thing Sandy, from memory I think you made some good friends along the way too.
If your daughter does watch it, Maggie, I hope she enjoys it.
Id never heard of this pilgrimage until a few years ago, on a ferry back from Spain, I got talking to a lady who was on her way home after completing it. I find it all fascinating.
