Jakobsweg verkommt zur Partymeile
Balgereien um Schlafplätze, Abfall und Hipstercafés: Über 280'000 Pilger erreichten letztes Jahr Santiago de Compostela. Die Anwohner verlieren darob ihr Gottvertrauen.

Oh dear, that group in Logroño again. Reporter Schoepp fails to mention their seize and impact. Somehow I find it hard to believe that pilgrims would be responsible for hipstercafés in Logroño. Frank Gehry did not build that hotel for pilgrims! Of course I'd like to broaden my view of the world, but imho this reporter relies heavily on the news about actions against gentrification and Airbnb in Barcelona en Mallorca. The quote "Tourism is killing our neighborhood" stems from a previous article about Barcelona and Mallorca, NOT Logroño.

Has anyone the experience as a pilgrim that, according to Sebastian Schoepp...

Today, on the other hand, as a pilgrim, one must be afraid to be received with a clenched fist ??
