Hi,
Our family/friend emergency has stabilized. The doctors are working and even when the end is near, we have decided to let our father continued his camino at his pace.
Thanks for your help and buen camino

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Hi Don, I am sorry to hear of your friends illness. There are several members walking at the moment and I am sure they will keep an eye out for your dad.
A photo would help.
Buen Camino.
 
A brief physical description, characteristics to watch out for (grey knapsack? red jacket?), and country of origin would be helpful. "First name from XXX country" is how I remember most people, and how they're referred to when chatting with other pilgrims on the trail. Who they're walking with, if anyone, is helpful too. (eg Georgios from Italy, little guy with a purple hat, walking with a bunch of Dutch women...)


Yes, that would help.

Hola, Felix!
Most of that was already in the OP if you'd read it thoroughly!

Wish you a nice day!

Oh my goodness, you're right! Good thing we have you to keep posters on track. Otherwise, anarchy.
 
St James' Way - Self-guided 4-7 day Walking Packages, Reading to Southampton, 110 kms
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Any update on your dad.
No, but in any case, he cannot do anything anyway. It is probably better to let him continue with his walk. The prognosis of our friend is bad but the doctors are keeping him going... We'll see. Thanks for your help.
 
Don has been found and has contacted family and spoke to his friend.
