Ivar,
Things get more interesting!
Now I know that the barmaid said what she said and (I think) believed it.
Right across the north there is this thing about witches (and geese as well - monte de oca etc). Now all of the words for witch are nothing like Cretcha (not that I am able to...

To be more exact, I was living just ouside Egham, Surrey. My friend Marisa was born in Ponferrada (I phoned her from there as I walked through - surprisingly for me, I was the only person she had ever known who had done the Camino though her...
