Macon County hiker Olga Pader walked the ancient path in northern Spain in the summer of 2010. It’s a walk through space but also through time that joins the walker with the thousands who have traversed it since it was first traveled in the year 840. The journey culminates at the city of Santiago de Compostela, where the remains of James — one of Jesus’ 12 apostles — rest. Pader will share adventures, experiences and reflections from the journey.
