Widening the Path

As soon as we walked to within 100km of Santiago, the foot traffic on the Camino has increased significantly.  I've been told that to get an official certificate of Camino completion from the Catholic church, you need to prove you've walked at least 100km to get there.  I guess some pilgrims take the minimal approach.  By contrast, Mary and I have done about 650 miles of Caminoing so far without yet getting to Santiago, so perhaps it's the journey that matters more.

Anyway, with the number of pilgrims walking increasing every year, Spain is making serious upgrades to some of the walking paths. in this section, for example, the path is being widened to accommodate significantly more pilgrims comfortably.
