Camino de Santiago: Free medical attention for females

In Estella, next to the hostel, an old man set up a makeshift placard with a red cross on it, advertising free medical help for pilgrims. He sat in a metal chair in the narrow street and tended to a long line of broken down pilgrims. A Canadian guy said he'd overheard female pilgrims going on about the old man's great foot massages, so he got in line for one. When he finally put up his feet for his massage, all the guy did was put a piece of tape on his leg. Apparently, that's all he did to any of the male pilgrims.
