Interesting opportunity

Camino De Santiago Sampler Tour Offers Spanish Study and Pilgrimage
            Walk the last section of the Camino de Santiago and study Spanish as part of a small group Camino de Santiago Sampler Tour, June 26 – July 3, 2013.  Participants will return with increased Spanish proficiency and motivating curriculum ideas after 8 days/7 nights of experiencing the Camino and all this living museum of Romanesque architecture and medieval history has to offer.
            Leading the group through the green Galician countryside, Alessandra Mucci-Ramos and Judith Northup-Bennett are co-teachers of a multi-level adult education Spanish course in Amherst, MA based on the Camino.  The tour focuses on the last 100 km. of the ancient pilgrimage route so that people have the opportunity to earn the Pilgrim certificate, the Compostelana.
            “This is a sampler tour to give people the opportunity to experience the culture and life of the Camino without committing to the month-long trek from the mountains to Santiago, “said Northup-Bennett.  “The van supported hiking and the 3-day stays in one location let people set their own personal goals for the journey whether hiking, studying Spanish, learning about history or experiencing Spanish life today.”
