They kept referring to page 6 when talking with the women. There is nothing on the English page (page 6) about this. That sentence is not there. Should pilgrims be responsible for checking the translation of a page that looks exactly the same in English (page 6) as in Spanish (page 5)?

Part of the issue is that association was quite rude about it, sending rather aggressive text (which we read) rather then having a conversation with them. They also claimed it was in their guide that they do not accept pilgrims who go backwards, but it’s not. Just frustrating.

We walked from Porto on the coastal route and the biggest issue was that a lot of the albergues in Portugal were closed so we had to book other hostels or hotels. We had to book days in advance in august since it was also tourist season. Since albergues are closed, you might need to book ahead...
Hello 👋
