I shared a room at the Hostal Virgen de la Encina in Ponferrada with a man named Richard, an American. It was 22 October. He was from a town in Washington (state) where he had been in charge of the public transport system. He is now retired. We didn't exchange contact details, but I'd like to get in touch with him. So, I'm hoping that he reads the Camino Forum. If you have any suggestions on how I might contact him, please let me know. I've emailed the hostal, but not had a reply. Probably the Spanish equivalent of the Data protection Act prevents their giving me any contact details for him.

Ask them to pass on your contact details rather than the other way around. I hope they'll be OK with that.
Good idea! Why didn't I think of that?
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Maybe try the Forum chat tomorrow evening, there are usually many people from the US on, so you may get lucky.
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
No, Keith, I haven't done that. I'll give it a go. Thanks for the suggestion.

Do you have a guess on his age?
I think he said he was 64, but I'm not certain. He is younger than I am (74), and must be over 60. [Thanks for the PM, btw.]
