Uno de los símbolos principales de identificación de los peregrinos a Santiago de Compostela es la concha de vieira que aparece en múltiples representaciones en la historia material de la peregrinación. El logo de la 30ª Conferencia de la ISSR junta abstractamente dos conchas. La primera significa la confluencia de los distintos participantes en la Conferencia provenientes de todas las partes del mundo. La Conferencia es el nudo que une la primera con la segunda, como el momento de reflexión. Y de ese momento surge la segunda concha con un movimiento de dispersión y de pluralidad que asume los retos actuales sobre los que trabaja la Conferencia.

Credit cards

Large shops, petrol stations and hotels usually take major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express) are still less credit card-friendly than other Europeans. Don’t assume that you will be able to use your card to pay for things or smaller amounts. We recommend inquiring first. Especially in restaurants and smaller shops one should ask in advance. Cash cards (EC) are more widely accepted. (most shops require a minimum purchase of 5 or 10 Euro when paying with cash card). We recommend keeping a supply of cash on hand.
