Welcome!

Hola and welcome to the Hiking Through History 2014 blog.

This site is created in connection with the University of Minnesota Global Seminar taught by Assistant Dean Nanette Hanks.  Sixteen University of Minnesota students will hike approximately 300 miles on the historic Camino de Santiago in northern Spain which follows ancient Roman roads and the pilgrimage path of the Middle Ages.  Starting in the village of Ronscesvalles on the border between France and Spain on Thursday, May 22, 2014 we will make our way across the Spanish countryside averaging about 15 miles per day as we head toward Santiago de Compostela. We will arrive in Santiago on Thursday, June 12th.  This blog will chronicle our journey in words and photos.

Buen camino!
