Now for the serious stuff. Got the stamp today on my pilgrim passport at the cathedral. One more day as a tourist and I will be starting my camino on Friday from my friend's apartment (20 minutes walk away).

I am getting spoilt
From the phonecam of el Peregrino
Iberico pork, goat cheese and tinto verano (wine spritzer). I am not really a drinker and this is very light and refreshing.

Walking the Camino via de la Plata
I will be walking the Camino via de la Plata starting around the 24/25 April 2008 and ending around early June. The journey is slightly more than 1000 km from Sevilla (Seville) to Santiago de Compostela.
For those with Google Earth, you can see the actual route via the following kml file.
I've also planned to do some moblogging (mobile blogging) during the journey whenever possible, depending on the cellular coverage, costs, and hopefully some free internet wifi hotspots. For that, I will be using the Nokia e61i. No promises on how often this blog will be update. My previous post is a test of this mobile blogging.
This will be the only electronic device I will be carrying. It will my phone, camera, alarm clock, mp3 player (music and also to learn some Spanish from pre-recorded podcast) along the way.

Author Paul Coelho Says Sharing Ebook For Free Helps Sales
Link: sevenload.com
(via digitalalchemy)
The example cited is the sales of "The Alchemist" in Russia which soared from 1,000 copies sold to 100,000 (then 1 million) after the Russian translation was released online.
So I guess it's ok to download them from Pirate Coelho. They are available in PDF at box.net in 7 languages. Surprisingly 'The Alchemist' is not available in English.
Paul Coelho wrote 'The Pilgrimage' which is instrumental for introducing the Camino to many Brazilian and others around the world.
