[Gocamino] [Santiagobis] The Camino and Spain's Economic Situation

[Tim]

Hi Glenn and all,
    I don't think it will have a great impact. The fact is that it is 
very much a central and southern tragedy.  The Basque country,  
Pamplona, Vitoria, San Sebastian, Bilbao have hardly felt a thing In 
fact they are still enjoying growth, Asturias and Galicia have seen a 
downturn but nothing like the massive damage seen in Andalucia.  The 
whole thing was a speculative property boom which was, as I said, in the 
south.  The Catalans have also seen far less problems and so I feel that 
the Camino will be relatively untouched by it all.
