Does anyone know what organisation or charity about 12 - 20 women (I think they were Spanish) were walking the Camino Francés for last month? They were in Melide on 25th September. They were all wearing pink tops. Most had only one word in white on the front, only a few of them (perhaps only two) had more words written on them, but I cannot read them in my photo. The third line is obviously "Camino de Santiago". Thanks.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
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.
Would it be these ladies who are in recovery from breast cancer?
 
Many thanks, Bradypus. That would appear to be them. Google Translate seems to think that they were travelling with ten toilets (sanitarios) :). I saw them at the bridge at Furelos, just before Melide.
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-

Google Translate does come up with some odd results. I am married to a nurse and I don't think she would welcome the translation much :cool:
 
Came across an identical group between Sarria (after Portomarin) and SdC.
As far as my spanish is good, they all survived breast-cancer and walk to celebrate and thank for their recovery.

Sanitarios in this sentence means nurses.
