A little off topic, but I think that many camino-related expenditures would have been made very differently if pilgrims had been involved in deciding how to spend the money. For me the most blatant example is the new bridge on the Camino between Finisterre and Muxia right before Lires. Until about a few years ago, this was
the crossing. Picture available at post #8. Ok, that was dangerous, the stones were much more than a comfortable stride apart, and I did it with water up to my knees. You would think the response would have been a nice wooden bridge that fits in with the surroundings and allows for easy crossing on foot. BUT NO!!! The government spent 250,000€ to pave a long ugly imposing granite path and build a bridge that could carry a garbage truck across it. Why oh why do they do these things?
Sorry, Felipe, my rant is over.
