  Thank you to whoever changed the topic field to « miscellaneous topics » from « safety and security » As a visitor to Spain, my goal is to blend in as much as I can despite the telltale backpack and shell 😆. I would never ask the price for a...

  I have several books on the subject but they are all in storage at the moment. I will admit they don't shed a light on what the Templars were in the reality of the times. An Amazon search on the subject will provide you with many sources, some...

  If a local gets a discount on the price on the price list, thats fine by me, so long as I do not pay more than is on the price list. One is a discount, the other is dishonest.

  You give me an idea. I will collect money and dates in order to book the Botafumeiro, sharing the cost between all donating pilgrims. I will send the required amount (ie 300 €) to Santiago cathedral, and give back the remnant shared between all...
