To alleviate overcrowding, Saudi Arabia built a new railway along the hajj pilgrimage route that carries 72,000 pilgrims per hour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD0KgHRf ... re=related

Maybe the Xunta would consider something similar for the Camino Frances? :lol:

If it meant packing in more tourists, the Xunta would jump on the idea. So long as it made stops at every bar, hotel, and attraction along the way, and everyone was required to get off the train and get at least a sello at each stop.
But if you depend on the Xunta to execute it, you will wait at least a decade...

There are times when government failure is actually to be welcomed. :roll:
