      KevinWilcox replied to the thread A call for regulation or permit on the Francés.
      I like, and am very open to, the idea of alternatives. None of my group is catholic so there is nothing that binds us to a camino that starts or ends in SdC, we just liked the idea of relatively easy long-distance walking in the Iberian peninsula...

      Great, but awful picture. And there's only one Everest and only one (relatively) simple route.

      KevinWilcox replied to the thread A call for regulation or permit on the Francés.
      As has been said, tourist taxes are widespread, charged in many countries and up to €5 per night is fairly typical. I imagine 99.9% of visitors are utterly oblivious to these charges, they are just part of the hotel bill. I also suspect these...

      It seems to me that the compostela is playing a central role, because even for those who couldn’t care less about getting it, it frames the Camino. All roads lead to SDC. If you walk the last 100kms you get a piece of paper to prove you ‘passed...

      Fuel charge - fair point, this got lost in the thread. It might be that this particular franchisee is less than honest. I imagine you’ve left a poor review on trust pilot, hopefully that will get their attention, though if they do sharp practice...
