Spotted something wrong? Tell me

I read it myself and check the source before changing anything. Don’t include personal data.

Tell me what day you arrive in Santiago and I’ll email you the day before

One email, the day before you arrive: where to leave your backpack, the Compostela, that day’s Mass and anything that has changed. While you’re walking I won’t write: this website remembers your stage, so open it every morning.

One email the day before you arrive and, if something changes that affects you, a notice. Nothing else. Signing up is free. So is unsubscribing.

What you need next

Keep it on your phone like an app. No store and no download: an icon on your home screen. What you have already opened also works without signal.
