They have now all been deleted. When I woke up, I did disable the functionality of starting a new Private Message for members...

Hola!
A few weeks ago I got a message from a member asking about if it was possible to search their own "inbox" of private messages. The forum software does not come with this functionality, but I was able to search and find a solution for this.
So as of today (if I have set this up correctly...
This is for pilgrims that like sweets.. cakes.
I bought this “Tarta de Mondoñedo” today. It is my favorite.
What kind of cake is it?

You will pass Mondoñedo on the Camino del Norte. Just saying… :-)
Saw this article in El Pais on this tiny, but very popular place in Santiago:

Hola all,
For those looking for the pilgrim's passport for the walk to Trondheim in Norway, the people at Nidaros Pilgrimsgaar in Trondheim have just opened up an online store where this can be ordered. More here:

Hola all,
As you might know, I do run a luggage storage service in Santiago... I have charged the same price for this service since I started more than 10 years ago.
My prices are:
- Large items (suitcase, large box): €25,- for 60 days or more of storage
- Medium times (medium boxes, ..)...
Finally, Casa Ivar is at its new location in Rua Nova 7 in Santiago.

Now we just need to get organized! More from us here at the office once we have finished the move.
Feel free to stop by if you are in town.
Buen Camino!
Ivar

The moderators spend way too much time dealing with people accusing others of not being a real pilgrim... Let's not get into that here on the forum. Each person can (and will) walk to...
Hola bicigrinos,
When I have completed my move to my new place in Santiago, I think I have space to do more with bikes... shipping bikes home for people for example.
But since I am new to this, I have some questions.
1) Do pilgrims ship ahead their own bike box to use for shipping home?
