The Forum is 20 years old

Congratulations Ivar. We are starting the third decade of the Camino de Santiago forum. The first post available for us to see is #1 on thread #3, titled “Hostal Suso” dated October 12, 2004. That is actually the third post ever (I'm assuming the first two threads and posts were tests and deleted). Thank you so very much for helping so very many. Stick around for a while longer. We still need you.

Resource 'Invierno Forum Guide'

Updated January 25th 2019: The 2019 version has just been posted. Hot off the press -- This guide replaces the 2018 edition. It is much improved.
