kathyandthomas reacted to ShoshTrvls's post in the thread A call for regulation or permit on the Francés with
Like.
Indulgences may be separate from the Compostela, but my understanding is that Santiago became a highly sought-after pilgrimage because it was a place where plenary indulgences were granted. If I’m wrong on that score, I apologize for my religious... -
kathyandthomas reacted to ShoshTrvls's post in the thread A call for regulation or permit on the Francés with Like.

kathyandthomas replied to the thread A call for regulation or permit on the Francés.Yes, I should not have used the term "Compostela" .

kathyandthomas reacted to Roland49's post in the thread Camino Francés favorites not in albergues? with Like.
The Restaurant at the Hotel San Anton Abad in Villafranca Montes de Oca (Ok, they offer Albergue, too). Parrillada Xacobeo in Triacastela (classical patio style) L'Incontro in SdC (IMHO the best Italian in SdC)

kathyandthomas replied to the thread Is it permissible to skip Sarria to Santiago?.While the entire Frances route is wonderful, the excitement of finishing your walk by going down the stairs, past thr bagpiper and into the plaza facing the Cathedral can't be matched ( it just to me wouldn't seem the same to arrive from the...
