Even if you only walk the final stretch, the Camino is worth it. Our group started just outside the airport and walked to the cathedral. No phones allowed. At first it felt strange, but after a few miles, it became something else. People actually talked. We joked, opened up, and pushed through the trail together. It wasn't about the distance. It was about the group. The Camino strips everything back and makes space for real connection.

The moment you step inside Old Trafford, the pitch looks impossibly green. Chants echo from every corner, scarves wave like flags, and strangers shout together as if they've known each other for years. It's more than a game, it's stepping into the heartbeat of Manchester.

Stone steps climb through cloud forests and past ruins that feel hidden on purpose. The air thins, the mountains close in, and every turn gives you another view you can't believe is real.
