    Donativo: A Dead Idea?

    That is not a good assumption.
  3. belladonna

    How much should your donation be ?

    Donativo does not require "less." All of the amenities that you described (sound heavenly) are an expression of love for the pilgrims. As pilgrims, we would bless the owners from our hearts and with our cash, as we must bless everywhere we go, using our money as an expression of gratitude...

    What is the best way to pay?

    The best advice! I called my bank, and I found out that using my credit card saved me any fees (as long as I paid the balance when due) most times we use the debit card fearing higher rates for a cash advance. Got good info about photocopying the back side of the card (there is an...

    Darling Joodle: This is just the thing I was looking for. Men, turn away. How do you empty it?

    What is the best way to pay?

    Thank you, SYates, this is great information. Have you found the Camino to be safe, or were you ever worried about banditos :) ?

    What is the best way to pay?

    Thank you, dear Walli Walker! Is it safe for a woman traveling alone (of course, surrounded by many pilgrims)? Any concerns?

    What is the best way to pay?

    Thank you, hermanas y hermanos for guiding me on the Camino. Tell me, for ten days (Ponferrada to Santiago) what is the best way to carry cash? how much? credit cards? Wishing all buen camino!
