[QUOTE="Dromengro, post: 798764, member: 91915"] Yes she's the one. I don't know about being an Angel, but she was formidable. I can't remember what year I was there, probably around 84. I can't even remember how I found out about her or even the pilgrim route pre internet days, but somehow or other I was told that she was the one to go and see and she would give me the guidance and blessing for my pilgrimage. Not sure what I did to upset her so, but she tore into me about not walking from my home, not having a letter from my church and much more. I'm not religious but was walking it for spiritual reasons, even considering becoming a priest or minister and walking it as a pilgrimage and not just a walk, but she refused to give me a credential and threw me out of her house ranting in Basque or a least French words I didn't know, shaking her fist at me telling me and I wasn't allowed to walk it. I marched off down the street in anger and confusion and walked all day following the path as best as I could, this was pre arrow and large marker days, having no guide book and the my only map was a Michellin road map of Spain, and eventually set up camp in the late evening. It was then I noticed the sun was setting in the East, either that or.... Yes, in my confusion and anger I'd walked the whole day in the wrong direction. To make things worse the old witch was sitting outside her house as I passed next day with a big smirk on her face. [/QUOTE]
