    Question about food at Orrison

    The food was fabulous. Very nourishing and well rounded. Started with a salad, a white bean soup call panchos (or some such), a meat dish (can’t remember) and desert.

    A sad sign on the door at Grañon

    Did Anyone Find Amazing Places to Stay off the Guidebook Paths?

    One of my favorite places to stay was ay the italian confraternity 12 bed monastery/abbey 2/3 kms before itero de vega. It was called "puente fitero" (bridge over fitero)).

    Did Anyone Find Amazing Places to Stay off the Guidebook Paths?

    We stayed here as well. It was a beautiful respite, albeit quite pricey. The tourist office (which is on the camino path as you enter the village) Will call and coordinate your pick up point. We walked to Amenal which is where they picked is up and returned us the following morning.

    Nostalgia and gratitude

    Feeling so much the same. Leaving Finisterre in the morning for madrid to fly home. I found so much on the camino, and I left some things behind. An experience like this is so personal that I have the welcome challenge of understanding and deciphering simply for my self.
