In your judgement, Jim, did your fellow Man live up to your expectations for charity, or have we fallen short because we did not give you food?
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Why has "No Money" topic pilgrim created such controversy?

I received a PM but the IPad app won't let me reply to PM

Hi to you know who you are, I did mis read, thanks for clarification

the people of Spain were more than generous to feed me

25% of the population are out of work and pretty desperate? Does he know that close to 50% of the young are out of work?

I never doubted the generosity of the Spanish, but this is a heck of a time to take advantage of it.

This line of interrogation is /insert-adjective-here/, and I find it utterly unworthy of the very nature of the Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela.

Again --- WHAT has this man done to you that has motivated this campaign of hate mail that you seem to have decided against him ?
 
I have been asked, “You mean you are going to prey on other pilgrims who most likely don’t have a lot of food or money to spare anyway.” The answer is yes! I really believe most people in their heart are willing to help another in need! If I am wrong, I will be awfully hungry at the end of my journey.
I am curious how we held up in his eyes. He met 1,000 pilgrims. How many fed him knowing he was not really in need? How many fed him thinking he was in need?

Just curious.
