Life is an experimental trip to Pilgrim Santiago

* "Life is an experimental trip, made involuntarily. It is a journey of spirit by matter, and, as is the spirit of travel, which is where we live."Break the routine, starting every day, turn off the computer, the TV turns off the light and closes the door. Out and not wait for the mail and letters sealed or not. She strips for suits, ties and other clothes. Extensive work, breaks transportation schedules, car, schools, supermarkets, offices, families, disease, and other obligations of obedience. Makes a stop, a "break" in rough seas travel and seeks refuge on an island of pleasure. The  Centre Portuguese Way of St. James.- The Pilgrim, which has a long history of northern Europe, the port here.As a traveler brings simple clothes in your luggage, light and basic, necessary just so you can also lead to the best of his soul. In the remaining island at different ports (with its shelters hospital) between them to see the green fields, the vineyards  boughs of the Green Wine, Orange trees and tangerine, dahlias in the gardens of the houses, fields of flowers, pines and eucalyptus, cork oaks and heather of the hill, the crystalline waters of rivers and streams, water mills, the Roman bridges, cruise, churches in towns and cities, always following the yellow arrows and scallop Santiago between the backyards of the houses large and small and gardens planted with lettuce, bouquets, tomatoes and peppers, chicken with poultry,horses, cattle pens, goats, sheep released, people associated with places and other people traveling with him are friends, but not before hosts that match in the same place mark their passage, like Peter Cafe Sport, Horta, Azores Island and where at night instead of a Gin Tonic appreciates a good wine and talk about the origins, the waves of the sea and beach of arrival. ..
 break with the shackles of his ship docked at the pier of his life. They exchange names, addresses and promises to write, sometimes gives the cost to meet the post with the crew of his ship. This is the most painful, is a throwback, a return to prior to departure, friendships formal format in modern society. At break time on the Portuguese island, you will appreciate the friendliness of our people, food, cod, pork roast, mature red wine (= vinho maduro tinto) from Alentejo and Douro, green red wine (= vinho verde tinto ou branco) from Ponte de Lima or  green white wine, like a champagne, Alvarinho de Monção.
 Other friends, who are already many enough, they were back in their place of shared routines, I would not, do not care about jobs, emails, links, and future commitments to redisplay. This flees because he is tired. Want peace of mind and looking at the distance in nature, the wonder, unlike what usually surrounds it. The hardness of the journey, not because they want to feel the torment endured the pain to win and lift the arms of satisfaction and joy for the victory that has been done to reach Santiago de Compostela.* Bernardo Soares (heteronime Fernando Pessoa)
