correction

[Tom Priestly]

I am going to be so bold as to make a minor correction to what Rosina wrote:

>"The only requirements that I know about are for obtaining the

>several pilgrims who have walked from as far away as Assisi and have

She left out "the last" twice -
  "But for those pilgrims that seek  the Compostela, the requirement
is that they walk at least the last 100 kilometers or ride a bicycle
for the last 200."

(This I learned last September, having walked altogether about 300 km
but only the last 90-odd, namely from Portomarin;  in spite of my
entreaties, and my demonstration of suitable dates for my walking
from SJPP to Belorado, the very polite señor(it)as at the SdC office
insisted that I receive only the 'certificado'. I was crestfallen for
a while but realized that they were only doing their job and that I
had en route suffered worst things than not being given a piece of
paper).
