The only church I found open between Ferrol and SdC last May was the one on the entrance to Betanzos. Dark, gloomy and empty.Are there not as many churches on the Ingles as perhaps, other Caminos (relatively, of course)?After looking through a few guides and online, I don't want to assume that churches might be a bit sparse because, I really luv visiting them.
Sorry, that must have sounded depressing. I'm sure that there are lovely churches along the CI I just never had the fortune to come across one that was open.Thank you, @Jeff Crawley
No worries! I appreciate your straight forward reply. I want to walk 'something' (the last 100km) with churches, that isn't scorching hot because, heat kicks my Heine!Sorry, that must have sounded depressing.I very much look forward to a period of rest and quiet contemplation when I reach a church...
THANKS, @peb ! I had completely forgotten about the several churches on the Portugues that opened specifically for the 3 of us, once we tried to get in!!!...not all of the above churches will be open, but often knocking on the vicarage, or house next door can elicit a key to the church, and then you have the place all to yourself...
Agreed but we’re here at Betanzos just now and even that church is closed today Sunday.The only church I found open between Ferrol and SdC last May was the one on the entrance to Betanzos. Dark, gloomy and empty.
There’s a small chapel across the road from Bar Avelina, which is on both legs of the route. The ladies in the café-bar can get the key from the neighbor who holds it and take you over, time permitting. There’s also a large century tree that is a neat photo op.
