Hi Lexicos!Goes to show, you miss out on a lot of great things when you don’t know where to look. Ebro Camino looks amazing, in this photo anyway.
I miss that place.On this day in 2012, I was about to have a very good night here, in the company of Síninn and his motley crew, enjoying a battered VHS copy of "The Way" playing on loop in a corner too.
I loved the Ebro Camino from Vinaros to Logrono, five years ago. Beautiful mountain scenery, and a good footpath through multiple tunnels where once a train line had run.
How beautiful it is! I am fascinated by such views.The pretty river Umia, at Caldas de Reis
I remember that so well! But on my camino it was a misty morning, and quite difficult to see the river until about 11 a.m. Such happy memories.I also loved that route, though I detoured off onto the Castellano-Aragonés two days after Zaragoza. My picture is from the day before Stephen’s, right before that walk the describes that goes through train tunnels.

I am from Guatemala and "Jack" was the only Guatemalan I met on the Camino. In fact his owner brought him to Spain (Camino del Norte) from Antigua which is where I am from.
I still don't know how to explain it.
I remember thoseI wonder how many designs were tried before they finally found one that was truly rodent-proof.
Bilbao on the Norte, April 2016.

Hmmmmmmmm....interesting.a Google Lens translation
Well, maybe not, but I can tell it's a Chaffinch.Don't expect @Theatregal bird photo quality.
On the CF I used an inexpensive point and shoot camera with a mild zoom. Occasionally I would put its SD card into a tablet, pick a few pictures (not always my best), use my fingers to zoom, move and crop and then take a screenshot of 1024x600. Good thing. I swapped cards once I got to Galicia. Later, in Muxia, I found that my first card had snapped. Of perhaps 4,000 pictures taken on that first card I have maybe 500-600 from the tablet's memory.There's only so much you can do with a phone and small distant birds.
(BTW, maybe no-one noticed but I sneaked a bird photo in a few rounds ago, too, also not @Theatregal quality - the one from the Iglesia de Santiago in Pancorbo on the Vasco.
Well, I was of course delighted, but it was totally random. There were lots of them, so you'd get that shot in a second - and I bet it'd be much better than mine.The kind of shot I'll wait forever to take.
Another of my bird pictures. Don't expect @Theatregal bird photo quality.
Oh! I missed this, intent as I was to get to Grañon. It sounds like my kind of place, under the umbrella of monastics. I pray these sisters have been spared the terrible toll of covid-19 in SDdlC.The garden at the Albergue Abadía Cisterciense, Santo Domingo de la Calzada.
Folks, that was back here(BTW, maybe no-one noticed but I sneaked a bird photo in a few rounds ago, too, also not @Theatregal quality - the one from the Iglesia de Santiago in Pancorbo on the Vasco. It has the usual crowd of swallows, one of which photo-bombed the church.)
Thanks Rick, to avoid the mid-day heat we walked out before dawn, so I really never got to see the track. Loved the way you managed to capture the ice.Hmmmmmmmm....interesting.
Walking out into an icy dawn from Hornillos, March 2015.
Thanks for the thanks but that was @VNwalking's post and picture. She just quoted me and you caught my name from that.Thanks Rick, to avoid the mid-day heat we walked out before dawn, so I really never got to see the track. Loved the way you managed to capture the ice.
I learned something today.refreshing horchata
I learned something today.
Horchata is made with 'tiger nuts,' which are not nuts at all but the roots of a sedge (of all things).
These were an eye-opener:

This from the Ingles, somewhere on the first day out of A Coruña.
I wasn't particularly looking for miracles, but had a few questions about the cage.
