What a fantastic link; thanks for the reference!....For further mixed posts re the routes and tribulations of famous pilgrims old and new peruse this earlier Forum thread.

What a gem! Thank you. And so many of the advice given in the Middle Ages clearly still being applied today: trere is no shame in learning to do your own laundry, don't dress too richly to avoid tipping (those not paying in donativos have mastered this advice!), loved the bit about having the patience to put up with others' stupidity as well. What an entertaining read. Thank you.

I was just going to post this article, it is very accurate even for today!

Wonderful! I'll be sure to pack a "suitcase of patience" from here on! And just hope it fits in the overheard compartment.

Isn't it a wonderful article? It was posted yesterday under the thread " Camino History", perhaps the tow can be merged? Well worth the read.
