LIGONDE, SPAIN - NOVEMBER 24: Brazilian pilgrim Victor Bezerra, 25, shows a document known as the "pilgrim's passport", which gives access to accommodation and is stamped at each town along the route, during his four months journey on foot from Rome in Italy following the Way of St. James, or El Camino de Santiago, a network of ancient pilgrim routes that stretch across Europe and converge at the tomb of St. James (Santiago in Spanish) in Santiago de Campostela in northwest Spain, on November 24, 2020 in Melide, Galicia, Spain. The Camino de Santiago is being affected by Covid-19 with strict restrictions regarding services and mobility along the routes. Starting October 30, 2020, Spanish authorities closed among others, the perimeter of Santiago de Compostela. Only pilgrims that have been journeying before October 30 can stop at the cathedral of Santiago de Campostela, but they are not allowed to stay overnight and have to transit through.
