This is a fun blog story write-up on just that. Earlier this month, Edward from the Valarmy went on a walk from Sarria to Santiago in Galicia, España. Wearing seashells on your body or backpack is totally optional, Ed chose not to, although it seems pretty much everyone’s doing the seashell thing.

The Camino de Santiago is a challenging, exciting journey that in this case was monitored by Valarm with a mobile, GPS-tagged accelerometer sensor, which you’re seeing in the 3D earth globe map visualizations here from Tools.Valarm.net.

Which is slow for some who’ve walked the way, however this is all about the long game and enjoying the journey. In the end, this journey certainly makes for beautiful 3D map visualizations of the northwestern corner of Spain. It’s far from the Pyrenees mountains and the Mediterranean Sea. It’s an adventure in Galicia by the coast of the Atlantic Ocean.

This final trajectory you see here is from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela. It’s pretty much guaranteed you’ll meet all sorts of delightful characters and learn about them and yourself. Folks from all walks and stages of life end up on this walk that can start from just about anywhere and everywhere, like France, Rome in Italy, or China!

If you get at least 2 stamps / sellos per day on your credencial then you’re eligible for a compostela in Santiago at the end of your epic journey.

Remember to take it slow and enjoy the journey although that’ll probably happen without you needing a reminder.

And you’ll likely see many a beautiful sunset like this 1 from the final evening of this walk.

Where in the world is Carmen San Diego, Waldo, and/or El Camino de Santiago? Need a quick geography lesson? (¿Hablas español castellano?)

You can start your pilgrimage wherever you want, however you’ll probably end up in Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, located in the northwestern corner of Spain just above Portugal.

Tabular GPS-tagged sensor data? So much prettier, and cooler, to see your mobile, geo-tagged sensors on 3D maps at Tools.Valarm.net!
