I am so very glad you had a wonderful experience. I volunteered filling out compostelas in the Pilgrim Office for 2 weeks in 2018 and it was the experience of a lifetime. To my surprise, the Pilgrim Office staff who trained us said to spend as...
I just completed the Camino Fracis. I got to the pilgrim office in time to get my compesela, and had a very positive experience there. I dedicated my camino to a close cousin who recently passed away, and I was unable to attend his funeral. I...

It was 2004 the last time I was on the Camino. Completed it again last week. Not a single bed bug bite . No problem finding a place to stay these days with the internet offering easy access to all the available places to stay . The biggest...
