Photos from O Pino.

Hello,

Just one week ago I was walking and arriving to Santiago, and I could take some photos from O Pino, the area destroyed to build and industrial polygon two years ago. The AGACS was fighting against, and could stop it. Now, it's necessary to ask to return this one million of squared metres to the original situation, with green forest and trees.

I hope you can see the photos here:

Buen Camino,

I'm afraid the question is: Will they plant something?

FADESA bought the land at the very low prize of 6€ the squared meter. Because the decision of the major of O Pino. Now, when it's not possible to build the polygon, FADESA sells it at 93€ meter. So, crisis and deflation actually here in Spain but prizes for land increases the 1550%.

Owners use to plant eucaliptus because it grows very fast and gives them a great economic benefit in a short time, in Asturias and Galicia. But, if the Xunta has to decide about, I suppose the decision will be indigenous trees.

This is just one of ... many, many problemas around the Camino, our caminos. O Pino (CF), Zafra (VDLP), Yesa (Camino Aragones) Villaescusa de los Palositos (Ruta de la Lana), Logroño (CF), Motorway Lugo-Santiago (CF) and, recently (for just tomorrow), Triacastela, and ... many, many other problems.

Sil, I'm expecting to meet you in less than three months!!! Please tell me when you will take your plane to Europe.

Abrazos, Buen Camino

Javier.

I'm planning to go to Fisterra about the 6th or 7th July, I don't know when exactly. It depends on too many things.

¿Buen Camino? ¡¡Buenos Caminos, Sil!!

Javier.
