Writing on a wall just before getting into Najera (Day 9 of my journey)

This writing sums up my camino very well.

        Dust, mud, sun and rain

        Is the Camino de Santiago

        Thousands of pilgrims

        And more than a thousand years

       Pilgrim, who calls you?

       What hidden force attracts you?

       Not the field of the stars

       Nor the grand cathedrals

       It is not the courage of Navarra

       Not the wine of the Riojas

       Nor the seafood of Galicia

       Nor the plains of Castile

       Pilgrim, who calls you?

       What hidden force attracts you?

       It is not the people of the Camino

       Nor the rural customs.

       It is not the history and culture

       It is not the cock of La Calzada

       Nor the palace of Gaudi

       Nor the Ponferrada Castle

       I see them all as I pass

       And it is a delight to see everything 

       But the voice that calls to me

       I feel much more deeply

       The force which pushes me

       The force which attracts me

       I cannot explain it

       Only He who is above knows it
