    Non Profits To Donate To

    To answer the original question first: https://www.apothecasantiago.com/voces-mujeres is a small NGO here in Santiago that does exactly what you are looking for. You can contact them in English as one of the founders is an American that lives here. That is not correct, the woman and child I...

    Clothing Theft/Loss/ Misappropriation on the Camino

    Well I 'stole' a pair of underpants once by mistake, since then I always give fellow pilgrims the benefit of the doubt -) SY

    I post semi regular updates and accountability posts on my website here: http://egeria.house/ and yes, still ongoing and, sadly, still necessary. BC SY

    Moorwalker - RIP

    @Moorwalker died today after a long illness, I so had hoped to meet here one day in person after we had so many exchanges here and on Facebook. May she rest in peace and may comfort be granted to her family and friends.

    Try this drink in Valencia

    Nothing to do with the prostrate, horchata in large quantities just gets your bowels moving ;-) SY

    Try this drink in Valencia

    Horchata - Love it! Just a bit of warning, don't drink too much of it in one go, you will need to 'go' for a while ;-) BC SY

    Planning a Malaga Getaway: Recommendations for Hotels, Food and Hidden Gems

    After nearly two years of this pandemic mess I decided I really need a break and change of scenery, badly! So yesterday I spontaneously booked a flight to Malaga ;-) Just for a few days (got a really good deal!) in February. Not to walk a Camino, just to enjoy the city, sit at the sea, recharge...

    Reputable NGO in Galicia to support?

    Also, there is a sub-forum here: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/categories/help-a-camino-business-in-these-covid-19-times.210/ I don't think there are any NGOs on it, but perhaps you find a cause you like to support anyway. BC SY

    Reputable NGO in Galicia to support?

    This, extremely low-cost soup kitchen (good lunch for one Euro, for example), would be my best suggestion: https://cocinaeconomicadesantiago.es/ They provide food for the poor here in Santiago and have an excellent reputation. BC SY

    Funny Camino Stories, Experiences or Pictures

    When learning Spanish I forever confused mantequilla (butter) with manzanilla (chamomile) so when serving as a hospitalera I frequently offered pilgrims "butter tea". By the look of their faces they weren't sure if they had ended up in Tibet ;-) BC SY

    Post-Camino Callings

    Best way I know to try out if callings are real - sustainable is trying them out: Spend some time on retreat/ in a monastery. Volunteer. Work or volunteer in the industry you want to start a business in and so on. When you do it, things will clear up on their own and your way becomes...
