Manuel Pardi had long dreamed of a nautical adventure. His ambition to sail from Antarctica to Santiago de Compostela began with an inscription on a stone. The inscription, found near a church, mentioned the Camino de Santiago route and invoked protection for a pilgrim traveling by sea and land from Antarctica to Galicia.

This chance encounter sparked an idea for a project in Manuel, who has Galician roots. Further details about his journey and inspiration are available from the source.

The inscription apparently played a significant role in shaping Manuel's vision for his adventure, which seemed daunting at first.
