Here’s a marvellous idea for your holiday next year, and it will help the animals. You can spend just one week on the walk, or longer, even the whole 6 weeks if you are fit! I publicised the previous walk, which was just with the dogs, this time they are taking horses and donkeys.
‘Dear Friends,
We have already overcome the worst summer heat here in Andalucía and preparations for the Camino 2011 have begun! Reserve your place now, as there are only 15 spaces available per week, for people and dogs, donkeys, horses …
The main aim of our pilgrimage continues to be raising awareness of the plight of animals and their need for protection. This is something which affects us all, because it is part of a wider, global attempt to preserve this planet as a worthy habitat for all the species.
Our motto is:
WE WILL WALK FOR A HARMONIC COEXISTENCE BETWEEN HUMAN, ANIMAL AND NATURE ON THE PLANET
As in 2009, you can take part in the Camino on a weekly basis – there are 6 weeks in total. The Camino offers a fantastic combination of a responsible holiday, an opportunity to walk the famous Saint James Trail, a chance to get to know a part of Spain and to make an important contribution towards change.
If you want to take your own dog (or another animal), we ask you to let us know as soon as possible. If not, we will assign you a do from a local shelter, as a companion for the trip. Anyone who wants to walk with one of the 4 donkey, must have some experience with donkeys and register as soon as possible, to save disappointment. It is also possible to bring your own donkey or horse, but we need to know details in plenty of time.
For more information and to reserve a place, you can visit our web page and if you have more questions, please write to elcamino@planeta-animal.org
Please help us to advertise this event, tell your friends, if you can, print the attached poster and hang it in your area, forward it to the press, publish it on your page, in a blog, in facebook, etc!
And don’t forget, it’s a pilgrimage for the animals, they are the protagonists!!!
We are looking forward to walking the Camino with you!
Johanna and Camino Team.

READ about the walk in 2009 and see the photos – hope this will encourage many of you to take part – I really want to, but just wonder whether, at my age and with a back problem, I could keep up the walking pace! But I really want to join in!
