This is a handy combination of Camino and Amigo . CAM-IGO links the 2 words and as Amigo is worldwide lingua for Friend anyway it works perfectly!
These are the people you met on the 800Km Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain.
Closer than family (maybe) , DEFINITELY closer than your closest Uni’ or School mates. This friendship was forged by help from people you never met before through blazing sun , exhausted legs and plate size blisters.
The shared cold beer , war stories and huge €10 Menu de Pelegrino (inc Wine !! ) was like a party every night with my Camigos’.
The life affirming experience across 34 days (minimum)of single minded , care and support is unparalleled in the world we know today .
If you weren’t religious ( in its broadest sense) when you set off on this 1000 year old pilgrim route- you sort of ARE when you finish with your Camino Family - your CAMIGOs !

Every month at least I talk to my Camigos’ from all corners of the Globe.
Are they in a relationship? - No it’s more they're Camigos’ .
Everyone I met on my first Camino is special there were experienced Caminista who had been many times but my real CAMIGOs each day were were first timers from across the world .we toiled , suffered , laughed and celebrated together !
