I can’t say 100% who the #HunkyGents were—I just heard them referred to as the Knights of Santiago… maybe they are just “volunteers”— but maybe the only prerequisite is only “tall and strong 😉— and good looking is a bonus 😂”
I’ve heard… yes paying for it is $/€500 +/-… but that’s it is not a matter of saying here is $500 on the Day you want to see it either… or even the week or two before. That all funds need to be wired in well in advance and arrangements made…. For example… the “paid viewing area -the first two...
Ohh… I’m sorry… you are running into that…. But You figured out-what i couldn’t… I felt like I was seeing ppl in “weird waves”— and I looked around and I expected to see a Greyhound type bus… but you are right… I thought Huge buses can’t get into littke towns… and now I remember seeing “mini...
Whoa!
Great attitude… it’s only water… but a lot of it… I walked into Santiago last Wednesday… the few days before that I got drizzled in… but nothing like what you are getting now… I left for Madrid Friday morning… they rain and wind was really increasing… I think I got lucky and dodged the...
I’m in SDC now-there was a huge and fast downpour-about 30 minutes ago… just prior to that I was thinking about my sunglasses.. and it’s clear right now… I did hear, thunder and a lot of rain last night too.
It sounds like you’ve got lot of experience Tom…. I just hustled inside— there was a very quick downpour a few minutes ago…
🤷🏻♀️-Its October—it’s gonna rain… 😊thx!
I went here for lunch today… #LaGaliciana - and yup.. I got the Japanese… it was a nice surprise and refreshing to have something different… I’m getting Road Weary and I just need my neighborhood foods… 😊-I’ll be home by Sunday night 😉
Thank you… I figured it was just going to be a bus ride…and as strong as the rain was this morning… I was worried about the bus getting stuck in mud too 🤪
It’s raining cars and dogs today.. I walked over to La Galiciana-Mercado👆it was recommended above… it’s just now opening.. I’m gonna go walk around a bit… I’ve got a lunch reservation in 45 minutes.
I kept looking at stuff on Finisterre… and they say “shops…really?!?- I understand that it’s main income for the town IS Tourism… but how many “shops” can a person see? I looked at lots of ppls posted photos… it looks pretty small too… I live along the California coast.. it might be different if...
Tracy-
I can’t see how to post photo.. but I arrived yesterday and I am staying at San Martin Pinario —Monastery right behind the Cathedral…in fact about 25 feet away… the owner hallways flooded last night… about 3 inches of water-they rallied about 6 employees with buckets and got it under...
I think I’m doing a hot chocolate… I’m on the 4th floor of San Martin Pinario… I can hear the rain coming down something crazy… I’ll stay in SDC and I’ll get wet… it’s only water… but I’ll have a guaranteed beautiful lunch…thanks!
Glacian Rains are here. I’m at the San Martin Pinario— love it here— but if you know it- the hallway before the dinner hall flooded last night—I live along the California coast and see beautiful sunsets all the time… I bought a bus ticket to a Finisterre tour today… everything thing I keep...
