the scallop shell has been considered the mark of a pilgrim on the camino de santiago since the medieval times. some wear it around their necks, others hang it on a string from their satchel, and well, we give a couple bucks to the "Confraternity of Saint James" who in return send us some fancy seashell patches that we glue on our packs. cloth or calcium carbonate exoskeleton, a scallop is a scallop right?
