Sadly, a young man was caught in the current of the river in downtown Ourense while cooling off in the water. An earlier article specified that he was a pilgrim on his way to Santiago de Compostela. This was shared earlier on the CSJ Facebook page.

These words, who are they for? The young man’s family and friends? Members of the forum? Myself? Too soon, too soon.

This is awful news and I am so sad for this young man's family and friends. 'Journey on Fellow Pilgrim and kept a vigil over those who walk the path behind you'.

Sad news indeed. I was there in May and know how close he was to the end and how far he had likely come
