Hi,
I will leave for Seville tomorrow. My walking companion is already in Seville now and has found the first markers round the corner of the cathedral.

How is the Via Francigena compared to the Via de la...
Hi,
I am looking for two pilgrim friends whom I met on the Camino de Fisterra between June 27th and 30th 2018.
We talked to each other frequently, but did not exchange our names and or adresses.
My attempts, to trace them by writing to the albergues where we last met (Bela Muxía and the public...
