- Levante (2014-2016); Levante to Toledo (2017-2018), to be continued; Fisterra & Muxia (2018);
This morning the Amigos in Valencia opened for first time after the confinment, in an unusual atmosphere.
We were few members, as risky ones are excluded, same as those who have not specific work to do.
Two members were at the administrative desks, one at the door for orientation of visitors, and four to attend those visitors.
Shoes's soles sanitizing at the entry, hands sanitising, mask required.
Number of desks reduced, and those turned in order to have maximum separation between the pilgrim and his attender. Only one pilgrim by desk. No paper (folders, maps, list...) to be given, only oral information. Table and seat sanitized after each visit.
Nevertheless until 12:30, when I had to leave, we expended 30 credencials. Usual at this date is more than 100. I join a picture of office in June 2019 and of today.
More frequent question is: "Albergues". Really difficult to asnwer, as situation is moving daily, and can invert in case of new outbreaks of contamination. Only information available is for public ones. By the moment it is said that in Galicia they will open first of july. Some other albergues say they wil not open this year. On our way, Levante, we only have confirmation of opening of the albergues of Pobla Llarga and Castronuño. An information to be confirmed is that those of Toledo are closed. The nuns in Almansa are afraid and doubtfull. We have no information about private albergues and hostals.
Our recommendation is to ask directly some days before necessary.
What appears is an, apparent, increase in Levante's pilgrims; two bikers start it this week, and other next week, and two young French guys living in Valencia will start it during the week-ends. We interprete that starting at home avoids one travel in public transport, reducing so the risk of contamination.
Buen Camino
