Letter to all HOSVOL volunteers

LTfit

Today I received a letter from Ana Barreda (better know as Anaï) of the Spanish Amigo Federation addressed to all HOSVOL volunteer hospitaleros. I have attached the letter (in Spanish) if interested in reading the whole thing. It boils down to this: volunteers scheduled for the last two week in March have, for obvious reasons, been cancelled but in addition, those set to come the first two weeks of April have also been cancelled. This measure has been taken as there is a feeling that the state of alarm here in Spain will be extended.

The Camino has never been closed, not even during the Spanish Civil War!

We will be waiting to welcome you whenever the situation is safe for us all. Until then stay in touch through this wonderful Forum.
