More info about El Camino de Santiago:
The 1,000-year-old Way of St. James (El Camino de Santiago - in Spanish), criss-crosses Western Europe, arriving at Santiago de Compostela in Northern Spain on the Atlantic coast. At least 200,000 people travel to the city each year from all over the world: Some people walk, others travel by bike. Many travellers choose to do the Camino for personal, rather than any spiritual or religious reasons - taking time out from their busy, modern lives and perhaps finding inspiration along the way, whilst reflecting on their lives in a supportive environment. Many carry with them a Scallop Shell. Everyone experiences the journey in a different way.

You can remind them that you are thinking of them and wish them good luck, with this special “Camino” gift.
Gift these delightful scallop, citrine and pearl earrings to inspire your friends . . whatever their journey. They come gift-wrapped, like all our presents - and we can print a personal message on your behalf.
