NT418: Camino Pilgrimage I

Part one of a walk/study course that takes a small group of students to Spain to study Spanish and the Camino intensively while immersed in the culture of Spain and on a faculty-guided long-distance walk through beautiful parts of southern France and northern Spain on the ancient Camino de Santiago de Compostela, one of the most popular pilgrimages in the world. The Camino Pilgrimage generally covers about 10-15 miles each day, and students carry their own belongings in a backpack and sleep in pilgrim hostels. Students work with one another by participating in learning activities together. Students keep a journal of their experiences, and produce a final reflection paper after they return in early November. Walking the Camino is an unforgettable personal journey steeped in European history and a rich spiritual tradition. Prerequisite: LS105, NT317.
