Judy Pittman, Woody Point and sisters Lynn Morrison and Nancy Veinot from Nova Scotia walked the Camino de Santiago, completing their 790 km journey on September 19th.
L 'Alto del Perdon is a height of about 735 meters above sea level located along the French route of the road to Santiago .
On the summit of Alto del Perdon is an iconic sculpture dedicated to all the pilgrims who walk the Camino Del Santiago. The long metal sculpture representing pilgrims on foot and on horse reflects the historical and eternal nature of the walk. There is a Spanish inscription on it & donde se cruza el camino del viento con el de las estrellas meaning where the path of the wind crosses that of the stars. It is one of the great landmarks of the Camino.
The climb up to the summit is difficult but the views are well worth the effort as you get an extensive panoramic view of the surrounding countryside as far as the Pyrenees.
