This Erasmus+ project took place in summer 2021 between El Bierzo and Valdeorras, where we bring together participants from four countries to walk and discover together the Camino de Invierno, the route of the Santiago's Way  that crosses Valdeorras. They were days of long hiking days, with cultural visits, activities and workshops on the pilgrimage experience.

Eating together after each long day, talking about our lives and dreams, listening to lots of advice and different realities has given me the courage to do things I hadn't thought of before.
