Fellow pilgrims. Your correspondent on The Way has an exclusive news item to share.
Due to the depressed economic situation in Spain, and the consequent need to attract more tourists, the government has initiated a dramatic response to declining pilgrim numbers along, especially, the meseta between Burgos and Leon.
To alleviate the somewhat monotonous stage between Fromista and Carrion de los Condes, a brand new "Travelling Karaoke Show" will operate along the path, encouraging pilgrims to participate in uplifting impromtu concerts.
Walkers will be encouraged to sing their favourite song , which will be recorded for later playback in the next albergue. Prizes will be awarded for the most apposite renditions, such as, "These Boots are made for Walking", or, "Little Arrows". Or even, make up a new song, for example, "Paint a yellow arrow on the next oak tree".
Please support this wonderful new idea.
Recordings/auditions start at Fromista on April 1st.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
And I will continue with 'The Long and Winding Road'.........

I altered 'If you're going to San Francisco" by Scott McKenzie while I was walking. I only did the chorus though (didn't know the whole song lol).

'If you're going, to Santiago.
Be sure to wear, a scallop on your pack.
If you are going, to walk the Camino,
You're sure to meet, some good people there.

All across the nation,
it's an old migration,
Es el Camino,
de Santiago."
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Are you serious? Tell me he's not serious!

Well, here goes my two cents!

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
