What is the attitude towards people who fly to Santiago and take a bus to Sarria to walk the last leg. I quite understand older people or people who are just not able and can only manage the last eighth of the pilgrimage. What I cannot understand is youth club leaders arriving with crowds of young people or priest arriving with crowds of young fit people from their parishes just to walk the last 100km. It also turns the last leg of the journey into a nightmare for the true pilgrim that has already walked 700km and now finds the path overcrowded and Alburgees filled to bursting.
This is also unfair to the young people too that someone has taken them and let them walk the last leg of a great pilgrimage. Now that they have done the climax of the journey they have no incentive to go and do the remaining 700km. They should have start at the begining and do a week every year until complete.
