Spain, like the rest of the western world, not only has less priests, but also has a declining population of church goers. So the volunteer parish numbers decline, and the volunteers that do assist are getting older and can do less, or nothing.
You are correct. The 100k
You are correct Bradypus the fist 100k does not end in Santiago, but a few more k's and your there. And, is my guess, the more fulfilled for it.
Peace be with you.
I have walked three Caminos. The first two late September into November. Had a 2lb Zero bag and was happy. Third Camino, late May into July and had purchased a Summit liner that not only lines, but keeps the bedbugs at bay. Worked GREAT!!! Also purchased an inexpensive piece of fleece from...
Ibuprofen is a good remedy for those 'aches and pains', but you might want to consider Napraxen Sodium if your taking regular daily doses. As a nurse I have been made aware from my nurse practitioner colleagues that studies are showing that there is less stress on the liver as the compound is...

I will look forward to seeing your Jerusalem voyage as well. I assume I can find...

And give your Camino over to the Lords of the Universe.
I reccomend this to all Pilgrims...Covid times or not.
Have faith in the integrity of your cause.
Peace be with you.
I'm sitting in my van, the gray daylight has faded. It is damp and this morning a thin crust of wet snow was covering the campground. In a few days the park will be closed to those who seek some solace from the hordes of trailers and motorhomes. The off times outside offer a secret space to...
Like the rest I am very happy for you and your venture.
