We all have ideas of what walking the Camino is going to be like. It's hard not to, with all the YouTube videos, blogs, books, and movies about the Camino de Santiago out there.

What is your idea of a "perfect" Camino?

In this week's episode of the YOU on the Camino de Santiago podcast, we explore that question and also bust some myths about the meseta, or high plain, that stretches from Burgos to León on the Camino Francés.

And bonus! Check the show notes for two great massages places on the Camino - one in Pamplona and the other in Santiago de Compostela.

What's your idea of a "perfect" Camino? What are the essential elements, or characteristics? That's what we talk about in this episode!
