    Efrén González QR code

    I did the El Salvador last June. It was beautiful and with very few peregrinos. The accommodations were a little scarce, but it was doable. You will be fine. The Primitivo this year in conjunction with the El Salvador, but we did not hurry on the primitivo, and my goal was to do Hospitales...
