Looks like limestone country, Asturian design horreos. The tractor is a Fiat. I would guess somewhere near Grado. Tio Tel
walking with you and Tia would be amazing...Looks like limestone country, Asturian design horreos. The tractor is a Fiat. I would guess somewhere near Grado.

I admit to being confused...but maybe that is just post-election exhaustion...It's good for this thread because it has something positively "camino" about it.....in it.....look carefully (although you all probably did NOT stay there!)
Attached three clues - two are earlier in the day, probably just a few km away (although even more generic than the quiz-pic), the third is a close-up of something in the original pictureI admi
If these don't help, my picture of the next morning will give it all away.
thanks... it does look like an albergue I saw ...back to my photosThe third picture is a closeup of one of the buildings in the original. If you stayed there (hint: it just might be an albergue), you're likely to recognise it. This is the back view - the door is round the other side, but you will have looked at it from this point. The other two pictures are nearby-ish. The fence one might prompt someone's memory. The other one is so generic it is of absolutely no help whatsoever!

I think I found it...now to remember where I was....I do remember looking for this...There are a number of so called "Fuente de Santiago" on various caminos. This one is on the "Camino that shall not be named".any idea where?

wasn't it pretty? the win again across the pond to Tia Valeria...Hermita de la Virgen del Carmen at Monte Valina near Villabade; just before Castroverde.
If we are right we remember the picnic area there
La iglesia de San Martin in Ferreira?A lovely place to sit and have a break.
Next photo:-
Another church doorway. Can you name the church or the village?
(It might be tomorrow before we check for answers)
there were a lot of pretty little churches along this part of the primitivo I think...Yes @Smallest_Sparrow it is. Such a beautifully carved doorway. So pleased that we did take the time to walk around the outside of this little church.
since my photo may not be immediately identifiable on its own, were going on a short memory jogging walk...it's also more fair to those who are more fascinated by nature than old churches
We start with a prayer at this sanctuary… “shining beacon to guide us, guardian angel to save us and firm staff to sustain us”

After a while we walk over a bridge
[i can't upload the photo, sorry...it's a wood footbridge]
I tried a few makeshift bridges, just because they intrigued me, but the one I describe in my post was a real bridge, made recently...for some reason my picture is too large to post
let me try one more time, cropping it....
hopefully here is the bridge you cross on the way to the town in playView attachment 30375
It may just be the three of us playing, and I'm going to be off line for a while...so I pass the game back to EnglandAh, I thought you would mean this one! I was hoping that someone else would chip in!!

I think the church would be the "Santuario de la Virgin de Fresno" , which means the village and bar would be La Doriga, just before Cornellana.
I already commented on "limestone country", this one is "granite country" - similar to Dartmoor, U.K. Any idea anyone?

It is the church near Cornellana (see TerryB's post #346) .Clearly I recognise the church - name of village escapes me and too much to do today to get out the journal and check! Between San Juan de Villa-something-or-other and Bodenaya.
Oops I mucked that up! Sorry.
So are we in the same spot here? After San Roman but before Melide. Clearly much less definitively expressed than Pelegrin above.
That's the one. "Penedo do Hospital" at Casacamiños. The next village is Hospital (das Seixas) which is why we asked for clarification from Pelegrin! - Still 15 kilometers to go to Melide - it seemed a long way, mostly on pavamiento.

When I did my Primitivo in 2013 I didn´t complete it because I had to come back to Madrid when I was in San Román da Retorta because my father was taken to hospital ( O Candido's owner took me to Lugo for free). So I don´t know yet San Román -Melide (maybe next year).
Your photo reminded me as I said the Alto de la Marta in Hospitales variant, near of what the ruins of Hospital de Peregrinos A Freita exist.
I have had a funny confusion.
Then, the mount behind Penedo do Hospital must be pic Pilar (806 mts) that is the highest point of Coruña province. It has the particularity that is the highest point with lowest altitude of the 50 provinces of Spain. The highest one is Mount Teide (3718 mts) in Santa Cruz de Tenerife province.
I think we are waiting for @Kiwi-family to post a photo - unless you as OP want to give us a fresh start.......Oh how I missed this thread. Busy week and I am back and hey I stayed in the albergue in Borres....lol...those flies and the animals that came at night and emptied the garbage bags...such fun
