Pilgrims usually used fairly heavily travelled roads, which were known as pilgrimage routes. These were guarded by organizations such as the Knights Templar and other groups that could protect travellers. Along these roads, any town or village was likely to have businesses that catered to the needs of pilgrims and other passers by. There were inns, stalls where people could buy prepared meals, and so on. Some monastic groups also specialized in tending to the needs of pilgrims and provided places where people could stay, and also were able to forward mail, so pilgrims could stay in contact with people at home.
