Wherever it is .... a beautiful statue - and just LOOK at that sky!!! I miss blue Spanish skies!
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

I think it's in Melide. I have an almost identical picture, taken just after we'd eaten pulpo
at A Garnacha. We stopped as a group to fill up at a nearby water fountain.
It's a beautiful statue with Our Lady holding the brown scapular in her hand. As it
was just after Easter I belted out the Regina Caeli. It drew applause from an elderly
Spanish gentleman and an embarrassed silence from the rest of the group !

Where would we be without Google Street View !
The statue is in Plaza Constitution just off Rua Principal.
I was wrong about the water fountain being "nearby". It's actually
built into the statue !

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Thank you so much. I've spent ages 'walking' through Google Earth trying to find it (next time - this September) I'll have GPS turned on on my camera phone.
It didn't help that my photo made the statue look really big, where in reality it looks quite small.

De nada Trevor.
The camera I took had GPS but I usually turned it off to save battery power! A dumb idea.
I've spent ages trying to piece together where some pictures were taken.
I was surprised how small the statue is. Like yours, my picture made it look far
bigger. If it hadn't been for my singing I doubt I'd have remembered it as well.
When I looked on Google maps I realised why the chap was sat outside. There's
a bar directly opposite !

There is an almost identical one near the church in the upper half of Palas de Rei too, but this Madonna is definitely in Melide.
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Oh well, I was vaguely in the right area!
