We've read recently of visualy impaired pilgrims on Camino. I've also met and been told of such pilgrims when I've been on Camino. Something I treasure greatly - and I know I'm not alone with this, are the stamps I collect on my credentials. I know that the albergues/cafés/restaurants are proud of their own stamps and pleased to be administering them. They are great reminders of many aspects to Camino.
It would be excellent if visualy impaired pilgrims could savour in this too - or are there already tactile, raised surface stamps-stickers available to them along the routes? I've never seen any nor heard of them, so perhaps it is time this was available!? Stamp providers could also include either brail or tactile names-locations with the stamps.
I'm sure there must be a national or at least regional associations for the VI in Spain. It could be funded in many ways and once set-up and running the costs would reduce. To say there are not enough VI Pilgrims on Camino every year is no reason to exclude a minority. Every VI person should be able to and have access to such a resource, which would last them for life and be a constant reminder of their experience and achievement. Credentials should also be available in brail - or are they already? I do hope so, and if not then a way should be found to include them as an essential part of any Camino. It could go further - brail-tactile tablets at significant locations and for the routes, for example, or even tactile pictures of the landscape views and buildings. But tactile stamps and names would be a significant start. Are VI people able to participate in this forum too?
Does anyone have the facility to check into this.?
Best wishes to all. Buen Camino.
