Eight Dutch celebrities walk 111 km of the Camino Inglés
Eight Dutch celebrities will walk the Camino Inglés in a new KRO-NCRV television programme.
Presenter Herman van der Zandt will accompany them on the 111-kilometre route from Ferrol, in northern Spain, to Santiago de Compostela.
The group includes former football goalkeeper Hans van Breukelen, singer Maan de Steenwinkel, former footballer Anouk Hoogendijk and presenter Nadia Moussaid.
They will complete the journey in five days, carrying their own bags and arranging their own food, drinks and places to stay.
The Camino is a historic pilgrimage route, and people now also walk it to reflect or step away from everyday life.
Van Breukelen says he is walking out of gratitude and hope, and to find comfort.
The programme begins on 28 December at 20:30 on NPO 1 and will run for four weeks.

What people are saying
The special thing about such a journey is that everyone sets off with their own story, but along the way you start sharing something with each other.
The Camino suits me for two reasons. First of all, I really want to walk it out of gratitude.
