*The Asociacion Galega de Amigos del Camino de Santiago (AGACS) needs your
help in preventing one more step to happen towards the destruction of the
Camino Frances.*



Dear pilgrims,



We want to inform you of the latest threat to the survival of the Camino
Frances.



A private, industrial,  complex,  is in the preliminary works in the area of
Arca, located only fifteen kilometers from the Cathedral.



Though the Camino Frances has been declared a "United Nations Educational,
Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site," as well
as the "First Cultural European Itinerary," and there are laws that protect
it, they are more than often often ignored. This is not the first time. In
areas like Navarra, Rioja, and Castilla and Leon, newly-designed urban
projects and highways have drastically modified and worsened the Camino.
Energetic  steps need to be taken to prevent this from continuing to happen.
AGACS requests your support in spreading the word regarding this latest
assault to the Camino through any means available. You can express your
opinion by sending e-mails to AGACS´s web page, info at amigosdelcamino.com.



Thank-you for your support,



Buen Camino,


The Asociacion Galega de Amigos del Camino de Santiago (AGACS)
