I got to meet Ivar! đŸ€Ș

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Meeting Ivar was one of my objectives when I returned to do the Camino Fisterra last week. He, his site, and his moderators provide such a valuable and professional service to us Pilgrims. Another suggestion is to stop down the street from Ivar and meet those who run the Pilgrim House. Great folks also.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-

Pilgrim House in Santiago, down the street from Ivar’s? I met Ivar in May..great guy

 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
As various previously ritual acts in the cathedral have been forbidden in recent years, perhaps we could add ‘getting a selfie with Ivar’ to the list.

I also have met el queso grande, and he’s a perfectly decent chap. The new location next to the Pilgrim House (also a ‘must do’) is great.

So cool! My wife and I happened upon Casa Ivar as we were strolling through Santiago yesterday. We stopped in, but Ivar was not there. The young lady at the desk was a delight. đŸ™‚â€ïžđŸ™

Ivar is generally not there in the afternoons, but I agree that Iria is a delight and very helpful. She told me that when she took the job that she didn't realize that we would be working for a celebrity!
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
I think I was completely overwhelmed, what between completing the Pilgrimage and meeting my wife in front of the Cathedral after being apart fir close to 6 weeks... I just totally blanked out on going to Casa Ivar (but next time FOR SURE!!!).
However re: "celebrity status" my wife told me that during her DUƁ--> SdC flight she overheard COUPLE of conversations and that's all the people were talking about Ivar Ivar Ivar
