Driest since 1978

[ivar]

I read in the paper today that this summer is expected to be the driest since 1978 in Santiago.

... so leave the raingear at home... ... well, maybe not, Galicia is know for its fast changing weather.

Greetings from a sunny and a comfortable 28c Santiago,

My team enjoyed a little bit of rain and overcast weather in Galicia last week - certainly preferable to the heatwave London was experiencing! Perhaps the best compromise light waterproofs?

I understand that Spain as a whole is hurting for lack of rain through - even more so than SE England. If it rains on your camino, don't let it dampen your spirit; it's much needed by the country.

Poste Restante in Santiago

Dear Ivar

Two weeks ago I completed my most amazing Pilgrimage. Many thanks to this website and to you, and scores of others who daily offer sterling advice.

I arrived in Santiago on Saturday, July 23rd , and could not collect my boxes that I had sent from Pamplona and Burgos, since the Correos was already closed. I could not wait untill Monday since I had to get back to work.

I visited the Correos website a few days ago and I did make a similar enqiry, but they have not replied. Do you know if there is any way that they could forward my things to me? I am(obviouly) prepared to pay for the postage.

Thanks again for your contribution to the website.

Blessings

Gail Theys
