  @AlbertoCamino, sorry amigo but you just got roughed up by a few people who are very passionate “pilgrims”. We don’t want the Camino to be “improved”. It’s just fine just like it is. It was just fine way back before Xunta de Galicia started...

  No matter the weather. I wish I were there again. But after 10 trips to Spain, and at 85 years old I may never walk on the soil of Spain again. This is my first year on not smelling the sweet air and trodding the beautiful soil of Espana since...
