OBSOLETE COVID THREAD State of Emergency, Again - Patience is a Virture
Thoughts and prayers are with you are with you. Next March is my 70th and I had planned to celebrate in style arriving in Santiago on my birthday. Not to be. Who knows, maybe my 80th. Let's hope not my 90th. However everyone's safety is more important than a pilgrimage. Not just for the...- hughb

OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Useful information for visitors from abroad
But remember, although the Camino is important to pilgrims like you and me, it accounts for less than 1% of tourists to Spain.

OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Designing a Camino for the COVID-19 World
I live in Portugal, very close to the Caminho. Life is very different. Slowly, the world is changing. The regulations for farm workers are in place, people are returning to the land. The regulations for hotels are in place, soon some hotels in some locations will be allowed to reopen. The new...- hughb

OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Postponing Our Flights
I live very close to the Caminho Portuguese. My suggestion would be to postpone for at least a year, maybe more. I think that foreigners have not yet taken on-board how they will be treated when travel does restart. Everything has changed. You will be treated with suspicion, even dislike...- hughb
