While writing a piece on lilacs recently (see below), I had an uncanny feeling that I had seen them somewhere on Camino Francis during one of my walks. But I couldn't recall exactly where I had seen them. I posed a question on a thread on flowers on this forum asking if anyone have seen lilacs on the Camino. Since I didn't receive any answer, I took it for granted that perhaps they don't exist on the Camino and that all this must have been the result of an illusory memory.
But the thought of having seem them kept nagging me, and I recently went through tons of pictures that I took during all my trips. Lo and behold, to my utter relief, I found a couple of photos on lilacs that I had come across on the Camino.
Enclosed are three lilac snaps that I took on May 15, 2016. Since the location feature on my i-phone was turned off, I can not tell the name of the exact location where I took it. But following the sequence of my photos, I could say that I came across the lilac bushes shortly after a brief stop-over at Bar Azketako for coffee and other refreshments. I'm enclosing a snap of the building I saw next to the lilac bushes that might give you an idea of the exact location.
