    Rebekah Scott replied to the thread Trash pick up.
    It was called "Un Paso Limpio," it was sponsored by the Amigos de Astorga and the Japanese Association of Pilgrims, with funding from Correos. Yellow plastic bags were distributed along the Frances route, and pilgrims could take them, fill them...
