    Kitchens not in use

    In March 2019 on a very rainy evening I was with a small group from Portland and they organised for one of the local restaurants suggested by the hospitaleros to provide for a ‘pilgrim’s menu’(incl.wine )for the evening meal. I think the average cost for the meal was around 12euros per head and...

    Unfortunately, that’s the way the local community View the pilgrims as a cash cow ! Galicia notably has the worse reputation for this. They also removed the doors to the showers, which is bizarre !

    While you're not doing anything else ... help identify this church!

    I have a feeling that the particular scene was shot out of sequence after that shown of o’cebriero. I think i may have have seen the cemetery at the village of Hospital AFTER O’Cebriero and before the descent to Tricastela and before the Big Statue of St James by the side of the road. Although...

    Soundly preached but if I falter on the first day over the mountain would you share my burden ?? Stay on point, my criticism is of Xunta in Galicia !!

    Disgruntled Pilgrims

    The more this thread is going on the more I wonder if I am the only one who has actually completed the Camino! In O’ Cebreiro where is the shop amongst a street full of restaurants, to buy the cold cuts? Who is going to pack and carry a mess kit from SJdPdp just for use on the last stretch...

    Disgruntled Pilgrims

    Gosh ! It’s bugging me that wanting to help those pilgrims less fortunate than myself should bring such a reaction. Anyone who makes the climb up to O’ Cebreiro on cold and rainy day to be greeted by a street full of tempting restaurants and then find that what has been a very extensively...

    The Camino is primarily a pilgrimage following in the footsteps of a follower of Jesus! It is a puzzle indeed that the forum members seem to forget this! The Dominicans at Rabanal are inspirational in reminding us of this !!

    Disgruntled Pilgrims

    Thanks for all the comments. I greatly enjoyed my first Camino but I have had some time to reflect on this issue and say that the disappointment of the faces of the youngsters and those on a budget merits some consideration! I would finally say that this present Galician policy ill befits the...

    Disgruntled Pilgrims

    Oh come on !! The smirks on the faces of the hosting hospitaleras when asked about the cooking facilities beggars belief that there is something not quite right ! This is worst than anything John Cleese of Fawlty Towers would do ! Martin Sheen as a Galician native and apologist would be quite...

    Disgruntled Pilgrims

    I have completed my first Camino 2 weeks ago and the only burning issues Which remain have little to do with the long queue to collect the compestela! My observation is that there is a sizeable majority of pilgrims that are very budget conscience and it is therefore incomprensible that the...
