During September/October my partner and I walked the Aragones. Unfortunately due to his previous back injury we had to take a taxi for parts, which turned out to bring a blessing. Two years ago I walked the Aragones and stayed one night in the albergue in Artieda, right next door to the lovely 12 century romanesque church. Each day at 5 o'clock an elderly man in the village would unlock the door and invite the pilgrims to visit the church. I remember the look of great pride and pleasure on his face as he watched over the pilgrims. In contemplating my return to Spain this year, I was concerned that some of the special people that we remember the most might no longer be there. In the taxi on the way to Artieda I described this story to the driver, always in Spanish. Her reply was, "That is my Uncle Angel! Yes he is still with us! He lives with me at my house. He is over 90 years old!" She confirmed this after seeing the photo I had on my phone. That was worth a whole camino to me!
She also added that everyone had been very careful!
