@Kanga...indeed.I can't see that a ceremonial dumping of clothes in the bin would be any less meaningful that a smelly fire in an environmentally sensitive place.
I don't know what people may be burning, but the last time I spent 8 weeks in the same clothing roving around Europe, no one would have wanted them.....Not only is it an historically dubious practice...but people burning perfectly good clothing in a world where there is so much need?...it's a waste and a pity.
Is there someone out there who can find a way of channeling that desire for a 'closing ritual' in a more useful and less self-centered direction?
We should take a lesson from Bushcrafters and LNT, leave no trace.The local community across the Camino who provide us with services food,bed and board would undoubtedly appreciate these small tokens leaving their land as it should be .Buen Camino.I did burned something first time I've reached Cabo Finisterre and I doubt anyone would be really happy with my donation

Hola, Angus!We should take a lesson from Bushcrafters and LNT, leave no trace.The local community across the Camino who provide us with services food,bed and board would undoubtedly appreciate these small tokens leaving their land as it should be,how much weight is in 6dog poo bags being carried for an emergency.Buen Camino.
If I burn something at Finnestre, it will be something unuseable, non-toxic, and burned to ash.
But I will probably bring a garbage bag with me along the way, too.
