      Is there any other independent source for these “new Compostela rules” other than this interview, with obviously some linguistic struggles between interviewer and interviewee, and the Facebook social media bubble? I find it odd that I can’t...

      I checked the date, and it seems to be neither April Fools (April 1) or Dia de los Inocentes (Dec 28). Nevertheless, I would advise waiting until this appears in the approved credencial or on the official Pilgrim Office website before relying on...
