My life changed the day I decided to become a guide on the Camino de Santiago. After walking it several times on my own, I discovered that my true vocation was to share this transformative experience with others. Every day, I have the privilege of accompanying pilgrims from all corners of the world, guiding them not only through landscapes and trails but also on an inner journey of self-discovery and reflection. My love for the history and culture of the Camino intertwines with every story I share, aiming to enrich each pilgrim's experience. I have learned that being a guide is much more than pointing out the correct path; it is being part of each person's personal journey, offering support, understanding, and sometimes silence, allowing the Camino to speak for itself. This profession has taught me the true meaning of empathy and human connection, showing me that despite our differences, we all seek something on that ancient path: peace, answers, or simply the beauty of walking.
