  gerardcarey reacted to muddy-mama's post in the thread New member saying hello— Francés in April 2025 with Like.

  gerardcarey reacted to Pafayac's post in the thread German/French documentary about the problems of over-tourism on the Camino with Like.
  
  I saw this documentary. It is a useful remembering of known problems and it should involve us in the research of solutions in order to avoir the saturation of the Camino, especially on the last 100 kms. One point is that we, pilgrims, are a part...
