[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 243878, member: 537"] Translation of Ender's very frank comments: This monument to the peregrino is the ugliest and stupidest thing that you can imagine on the Camino del Salvador, but what is important is not whether it is pretty or useful, what is important is that a famous sculptor designed it. So the mayor gets a commission and is able to put up a plaque with his name on the sculpture. They have also "fixed" the Camino making a stone path and widening it with the excuse of doing it to help the pilgrims. In reality, though, they have just spent a huge amount of money on a path so that cars can get out to private ranches. So now we find vehicles on the Camino, this isn't for the pilgrims, this is for the mayor and his/her friends to justify another unnecessary expenditure. What matters about all of these stupid works is the picture in the newspaper of the mayors and the President of the Camino del Salvador. None of these people in the picture, including the president, have walked the camino. In fact, they don't even know where it goes and they have the gall to spend what little money there is for the camino on stupid things, while albergues are overcrowded in summertime, and the albergue in Poladura is left in its unimproved state. But the politicians in Asturias aren't any better [all of the above comments are about politicians in the province of Leon], they haven't done anything to improve the camino, not even put up an arrow. But the bottom line is that the Camino del Salvador existed before us and will exist after us, and I hope that in the meantime we can enjoy it. [/QUOTE]
