    Services in the Pilgrims Office in Santiago

    May I ask the virtual yet real community forum if details about a pilgrim are stored on computer as for the credencial? The security of our e-records is under debate due, for one, about our new health records nationally, so how much data is stored about any pilgrim? Am not overly concerned...

    Best backpacking pack for CF October 2018

    Later, I wrote the above reply on scripture and then happened to read the rules of the forum re point system and the avoidance of religion on the forum.

    Anthony Bourdain, Mental Health, and the Camino de Santiago

    Positive messages in an interesting article. Vale Anthony. Spare a thought for those who overcome difficulties without the therapy of a Camino when a fortunate minority travel to Spain. I commend support for very good mental health services in all your homelands.

    What about risk of fire?

    Your replies are about the good and the bad. I had imagined similar circumstances and is good to hear how some places are taking normal safety measures. Whether one will have a ready list of the right hostels or would ask beforehand about the door locks or other clues is difficult to know. The...

    What about risk of fire?
