I miss the Camino and I sincerely hope that a time will come soon when pilgrims will...
Hello,
Does anyone know if I can bring my wooden walking pilgrim stick with me on easyjet? I bought it at the beginning of my walk, it's the wooden type you get along the way in Spain with a metal bit at the end.
