    Any Updates from Norte?

    All the lodgings, municipals and privates, are clean up today to Santillana del Mar. No need to wear mask at albergues and restaurants, but when you attend Mass, and if you take bus, train, ferry, you need to wear mask. I hope it will be helping you to understand current situations. 🙏🏼🤗🌺
