©*2023-2009- HOME of ASSOCIATION AMIGOS do CAMINHO de Santiago do ESTE DE PORTUGAL/ORIENTAL desde TAVIRA-Algarve( s.XIII.)*

*(Week-39 2023.). As we were informed there are some works (obras) done at the "Parish-Center", Rua D. Paio Peres Correia, Nº 45, "Info-45", this week, so we will not be present on Friday September 29th 2023. We hope the "obras" will be finished soon, so we can receive International Catholic Pilgrims again at Nº 45, "Parish-Center-Info-45" as Pilgrims were used to since 2009. As soon as the "obras" are finished, we hope to be again at Nº 45, the "Parish-Center-Info-45" at the service of Pilgrims that like to start their Caminho de Santiago from Tavira-Algarve, being given the Information they need, the Carimbos in their Credencials for free, and the Credencials against costprice, as Catholic Pilgrims may expect.
