there were three people on the camino three days ago. One of them, a young Englishman, phoned my house to see if they could stay the night. "We aren't pilgrims," the man readily admitted. "We're adventurers." They had come from Vittoria in the Basque Country (which is a virus hot spot), where they'd gotten bored with lockdown and decided to "experience the post-apocalyptic meseta."
The Meseta is just about the same place post-apocalypse as it was pre. I think they still were bored.
I told them they could not stay here.
I learned later that a neighbor picked them up outside Ledigos and drove them back to Vittoria. The neighbor has family there, and this gave him a reason to get on the road and get back to the city.
The police asked around, but seemed glad to not have to deal with them. So far, I think "pilgrims" and non-troublemaker vagrants are just moved along, or taken to the nearest homeless shelter for the duration. I know of four Argentine pilgrims holed-up in a closed hostel in Villafranca, and an assortment of people staying with David outside Astorga, apparently the Policia Nacional have been bringing the waifs and strays there, and are also periodically bringing food and supplies to keep them going.
(strangely enough, David has also just announced his place is for sale.)
