I was recently amused to be given a newspaper cutting from the Sunday Times by one of my patients who found it a hilarious read. It was an advert for a package tour called "El Easy Camino".
The advert describes a "more convenient way of enjoying the Pilgrim Road". This apparently involves paying €1,239pp to stay in "carefully selected hotels" and my favourite bit - "opportunities for some light hiking(without luggage) so that we can blend in with some 'real' pilgrims"!!

And to think I have been "slumming it" in randomly selected albergues and even carrying my own pack, when I could have been doing it by bus! Personally at that price I think I will stick with El Cheapo Camino - a bit more authentic perhaps?
