ViveCamino

Culminates a new edition of child Discamino by the Portuguese Way

They left on Friday and, after traveling three stages, arrived near the Cathedral on Sunday, accompanied by parents, coaches and volunteers

During Sunday noon they arrived at the Plaza del Obradoiro a group of 30 pilgrims bike whose history is not easy. They are a group of nine children with disabilities, who managed to make three-day route from Vigo by the Portuguese Way, thanks to adapted bicycles. They left on Friday and, after traveling three stages, came close to the Cathedral on Sunday, accompanied by parents, coaches and volunteers. This was a new edition of Discamino, an organization that began in August 2009 when Gerardo, a young deaf-blind Vigo, made his first Camino de Santiago.

It was proposed to find more people like him to make the Camino every year, and since then, the organization pilgrimage annually from Vigo. However, this was the first children's edition of the event, which added an even greater challenge for its participants. They all came smoothly to its target, the Plaza del Obradoiro.
