Amigos Welcome Service 2014

Signs at the entrance to the Pilgrims' Office in English and Spanish
Hola

This year 58 fabulous volunteers have donned Amigos T shirts and are welcoming pilgrims as they arrive in Santiago. They come in all ages and all shapes and sizes. Some speak Spanish and other languages fluently. Some are learning. Two things they all have in common: they are all experienced pilgrims who have gained at least one Compostela and they all have huge hearts and warm smiles. They are all members of the participating organisations. The pictures tell the story...
