Walking the Camino allows you to spend time alone by yourself.  During the walk, you can think, be in touch with nature and also with the people from all over the world that share that same common interest.  To walk the Camino helps you to find and get to know yourself better.

It is not a race, a true peregrino will not boost to others the least number of days that he or she can finish the walk in but rather the experience gained.
