I think you hit all the nails on the head, As i think "EL RAMON" was flying like a plane,was a little cuckoo like a bird, looked like he was playing a couple characters in a play,that he read from a book, to play the part in the film. Buen Camino

Hi Jeff,

This might help................................

Detailed much better by Jack Hitt in his book, Off The Road, and later shown in a lengthy scene in The Way, I can tell you that spending the night in Ramon Sostres' "refugio" in Torres Del Rio was a very strange experience. (His was the ramshackle house with no front door, no furniture, no electricity, no running water and where the bathroom was the backyard.) Although they made him out to be a little more flamboyant than when I met him, I can vouch for the movie's verisimilitude on this strangest of overnight stays. :shock:

No electricity, no phone known in the village as CRAZY HOUSE.
If you ever survive please send report.
Could just be what you are looking for but see the film first.

Hi guys,

Not meaning to bring bad news. In '12, I was having a drink with the hospitalera on my stop just before TdR. We had great conversation about many things. For some reason, we spoke of "El Ramon". She informed me he no longer runs his refugio. Forgetting the reason at the moment as to why. Perhaps something has changed and he's back. If I come up with information which contradicts, I'll pass it along to you.

Great way to have excitement for the Camino no matter.

¡Salud!
Simeon

 

[jeffrey r aitken]

That makes me sad! But i for one am not the kind who gives up easily ,as i will still stop to see if i might befriend oll "EL RAMON" and if nothing else say hello and have a glass of wine. Thank you for that info.. Buen Camino

I found a little info a few minutes ago. Only a little background:

Note this was written in '05. Any other search I do comes up with "Casa Mari" as the alburgue in TdR. No mention of Casa de Ramon anymore.

El Ramon is creative writing inspired by Hitt. From an interview with Estevez:

The supporting characters in The Way like El Ramon, were they straight from the research or did you—
Oh, no, El Ramon was from the Jack Hitt book [Off the Road: A Modern-Day Walk Down the Pilgrim's Route]. That was the source material from which I was inspired to create the Jack character [Nesbitt] and El Ramon was a character that Jack Hitt bumped into when he was out on a communal in the 90s.

The gypsy street in Burgos also is creative writing. Estevez discusses it on the DVD. A gypsy camp looks more like this:
