[QUOTE="Pingüigrino, post: 1228171, member: 49341"] There are lots of shelters for people in need. There are lots of places where nobody ask other than for their money. There are lots of people who only wants a cheap vacation. There are a lot of private facilities for touristic use. There are a lot of people stranded in what we Spaniards call "Buenismo" (goodism?). There are... I´m a volunteer hospitalero. I usually work thirty to fourty five days yearly in donativo albergues, for the love I feel for the Camino and my country. I paid with my money for my food, for the travel expenses, taking my time to my family, to my wife, to my grandson, because the love I feel for the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. Nor for the pilgrimage to El Rocio, or the pilgrimage to Santo Toribio, or the pilgrimage to La Meca. The Camino de Santiago is suffering a gentrification due the abuse of political, commercial, touristic. interests etc. The Camino is turning into a cheap mass phenomenon, without spirit, without feelings, without soul. I´m not a police officier of the Camino, but when I detect a bad behavior I try to fight it, just for the same love I feel for THAT pilgrimage, for my country and for the pilgrims. Everyone believes themselves on the rigth of doing their will with no regrets. Do not be judgmental, they say. Thats MY convenience to use the infrastructure of the Camino TO Santiago the way I cares. Surfers in the north, cyclists on the Plata, tourists everywere... Why the hell must we keep accepting those adbusive behaviors when are flagants? Uncharitable you say? Please do not make me laugh. The charity starts with ourselves, caring for what matters to be cared. Those students, under my point of view are cheaters, abusers, false pilgrims. Period. Buen Camino to you all, honest people.
