The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I am one of the people who keeps the church of Sto Tomas open in the summertime in Moratinos. The stats say 1,966 visitors signed the book and got a sello this year, but a whole lot more pilgrims just walked right past the door and never looked inside!
 
And they usually are. Seems a lot of people are waiting outside to seek in the moment someone opens one.

Church I see on my Caminos, church I go to see if its open. When I do find one open, it´s like finding the prize in a box of Cracker Jack´s.:)

Buen Camino
