Spanish firefighters have rescued two Britons who spent five days in the open, drinking from ditches and animal troughs, after getting lost while trying to walk the Camino de Santiago pilgrims’ route. But somewhere along the 20-mile (30km) trek, they got lost. A spokesman for the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: “Two British nationals who were reported missing have now been safely found in Navarra. The city’s cathedral is reputed to house the remains of St James the Apostle, the patron saint of Spain. Although originally a pilgrimage for Roman Catholics, the camino is increasingly popular with hikers.
