    My Cami St. Jaume -- from Llançà to Montserrat

    Thanks for another update, RhysB! Did you use Gronze or another source to learn about those additional accommodations and fountains? I am using the Callum Christie guide to plan a solo trip in March/April and will appreciate access to any additional resources along the way.
