Hola Ivar!
The economic crisis in Spain is a big news item in the US media daily. I realize many of the effects of the EU loan to the Spanish government have yet to take place. How are the ordinary citizens of your country viewing all this? If the many new taxes that are to be created to repay the loan are implemented, how will this affect the cost of future pilgrimages? It seems that everything will have substantial new taxes affixed, including food and lodging, the primary needs of a pilgrim. Your insight would be appreciated. My plans are to start my Camino next May in Le Puy.
Muchas gracias,
Farmer John
