Yesterday the Frenchman Serge stayed with us in Ponferrada where I am working as a hospitalera. With his permission I am posting his picture and telling of his experience picking up garbage along the Camino Francés.
He is an exemplary pilgrim who cleans up the Camino on a daily basis - day in, day out. In rain or shine. During 2018 alone he has disposed of more than 200 large garbage bags of debris, debris that we pilgrims throw away.
He is so dedicated that he records how many bags he fills every day in a book. He has also written various Camino associations suggesting a method to maintain the Camino clean but no one seems interested as he has never received an answer.
Let's help Serge keep the Camino clean and pick up after ourselves. While we're at it why not pick up anything we see along the way.
Bravo Serge!
