After almost 3 weeks on the Road, the Pilgrim Pouch arrived to Santiago de Compostela ready to explore this lovely city.
At the Convento de Belvis the Pouch rang the buzzer to purchase "biscuits," or cookies, made by Dominican sisters whose community originated in the 14th c.
The Pilgrim Pouch & I visited Ivar Rekve, the creator & manager of the Camino de Santiago forum & Casa Ivar, an online store of Camino products where the Pouch can be ordered.
Since 2004 Ivar's forum has provided information & answers to walkers' questions. In addition, Casa Ivar offers luggage storage service -- walkers can send extra gear or luggage ahead to pick up after the journey.
