David's Place - Donativo before Astorga

Dennis D · Dec 22, 2015

This was the most interesting Donativo that I encountered. He was living in an abandoned building and was not asking for money. He kept saying, "The Camino will provide." There was such a large crowd that it was difficult to take more than a snapshot of his operation.

This is David. Lovely photo of him.

@Theatregal - I didn't know his name but I loved his attitude. This was one of many highlights for me on the Camino earlier this year.

Yes, a really great memory of time spent at his place. A very special person.

La Casa de Dios, the sello made of a red heart. And organic fruits and juices, with the donation till on the other side of his trolley. Loved it.

@Anemone del Camino - He had an incredible selection for fruit juices and cookies. I didn't know he had a sello too. I will look for him next year and ask for one.

Hi everyone!
I had the chance to have long conversations with david in 2009 and 2013...

One good friend of mine who just arrived in Santiago this morning has told me he has moved to another location.

Does anyone know where david is at the moment?

Thank you!

@vlebe. Hola - I am on the Camino now and will let you know when I find him. He is really an interesting guy. I want to capture a better photo of him when I find him.
