Thank you for the information - I completed my Camino today and it was bittersweet. Many prayers for the families, pilgrims who witnessed and helped and the emergency workers were said today as I walked the final kms. The section into Santa Irene is confusing and unnecessarily crosses under the...
Hi all,
There was an accident today where two pilgrims looked like they had been hit by a car at Santa Irene around 2.00-2.30pm today, Friday 20 Sept. they were being taken away by ambulance & helicopter.
I had to walk right past them and it was incredibly upsetting to see and think of their...
