The Asociacion Galega de Amigos del Camino de Santiago (AGACS) needs your help in preventing one more step to happen towards the destruction of the Camino Frances.
Dear pilgrims,
We want to inform you of the latest threat to the survival of the Camino Frances.
A private, industrial, complex, is in the preliminary works in the area of Arca, located only fifteen kilometers from the Cathedral.
Though the Camino Frances has been declared a “United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site,” as well as the “First Cultural European Itinerary,” and there are laws that protect it, they are more than often often ignored. This is not the first time. In areas like Navarra, Rioja, and Castilla and Leon, newly-designed urban projects and highways have drastically modified and worsened the Camino. Energetic steps need to be taken to prevent this from continuing to happen. AGACS requests your support in spreading the word regarding this latest assault to the Camino through any means available. You can express your opinion by sending e-mails to AGACS´s web page, info@amigosdelcamino.com.
Thank-you for your support,
Buen Camino,
The Asociacion Galega de Amigos del Camino de Santiago (AGACS)
