The Elevation Map of Camino Frances


The elevation of the Camino begins in such a way as to invite slowness, pacing, and presence. The middle section is called the meseta. It is rightly located. By the middle of the journey, the pilgrim (me) is more attentive to slowness and growing in wisdom to the problems of going fast. Each step is its own, and arrival isn't the goal. The high elevations provides shade and a breeze. The flat meseta provides nothing but unadulterated sunshine. Each step invites a life of trust, love, openness, and presence.
