If you have walked the Norte, you have walked right past it. You may even have slept within 200 m of it. There is a small entrance fee.
 


Okay - this a real tough one. A photo taken on the outskirts of a town on the CF. There is a twist to this one.

Well, as one who has NOT walked right past it, but has at least been encouraged to research the Norte, which I haven't considered before, but certainly will.. ....
can't resist another go. It has to be Santa Juliana in Santilla del Mar.

I say the cloisters are at Santillana del Mar, in the Colegiata de Santa Juliana. Oh! I see I've been beaten to it. I worked it out this morning, but did not have time to post. (Another fish that got away.....)

So @Peregrinopaul's pic has to be from where the Sanabres branches off from the Via de la Plata, right?...I've never been there, but the arrows make sense if that's where the photo was taken.

@AJ ..... Waaaaaaa , shoot!!!! Well , Well Done.
Do you see the Bodega right below the church tower? It collapsed after days of rain , taking the tower down which in turn took the entire church down with it. Here is a pic of what the scene looked like in 2012 , and note the dead tree from the original photo.

No shame in doing a bit of research Viranani. You have obviously identified it as Granja de Moreruela, north of Zamora. Here's a pic of an explanatory plaque outside the church.

The church on the roadsign is the Moreruela Monastery, a spectacular ruin a few km from Granja along the Sanabres. This is the apse.


Your go, I think.

I had a minor problem with this earlier and deferred to SY who declared all is OK, so Viranani it is yours.
 
I'd have gone left too....
And wow, that monastery! Good pics, thanks, all!
This is on the Frances, a place known for the things in the photo........

Do you call that a clue?! Like there was only one place on the Camino Frances with many piles of stones and grape vines!
Click to expand...

Ah, and unless I'm mistaken, those are olive trees at the top right. Mmmmm...
However, since there do not appear to be any bike-tyre tracks in the dirt, maybe I didn't go that way, so I can be forgiven for not recognising the location.
So, I'm counting on you, C clearly!
 
I thought this would be easier since people were mentioning it on a thread about cairns a while back.
Just to be clear...There are more than a few. They are on both sides of the Camino all over the place. Will go now to look for that thread, and let it be the clue.....
A bit further along, @C clearly...
Edit--I can't find the mention of this place that I am remembering. Clue. It's on the way to an alto, on the Frances.

It's before the site of a famous confrontation and a town known for a church that contains the burial sites of many royalty. And in a general part of Spain known for its wine...

Cute. But somehow I missed it.

There are two options to the Camino just before this village so you may have taken the other route which was the more popular when we walked.
 
Calzada de Coto?
(And I am going to log out now for the night, so if that's right answer, I'm throwing out another wildcard so that the came can keep on going....)

Exactly! I wanted to post that picture of the faithful man who waited at the corner to invite passing pilgrims and slowly walk down to the church. I saw him on 2 Caminos (last in April 2016) and wonder if he is still there every day!

I have been to this church several times and it has only been open once.
 
I'll have to try and remember where this one is myself!

You walk right past it along a narrow street. It is visible in Google Earth street view.

This will be easy for anyone who's done the VDLP. Note that the track is granite paved.
 
Thanks AJ. By the way I like your avatar of "The Wonder"

Maybe closer to Banos de Montemayor. If I am correct, then it's WILDCARD time. So anyone please post a photo
 
I'm way on the back foot, still looking at the carved octopi and thinking "I know this, i know this..." but unable to remember where.
No clue where Paul's post is from, but it sure looks interesting.

It's almost exactly half way from Seville to Santiago.
A bit of a holiday spot for the Romans, taking a break from Merida.
Any help?
 
Sorry AJ, I missed your post. It is Banos from the Roman Road.
You're too good at this.

Apparently that's what the French call Mt St Michel.
I saw a Terrence Malick movie recently, called "To the Wonder". I'll see if I can find a still.
 
Nobody wildcarding. OK then.

Hint: I'm glad my son was paying.
Everyone has been next door.

Wild guess, based on your clue--The Parador in Santiago?
(I've never set foot in the place and have no idea what it looks like or if it has a cloister...)

Indeed, it is the Hostal (!) Reyes Catolicos. My son had of course seen that movie, and when we arrived in Santiago from Madrid, he said "My treat"!
Over to you.

You're kidding!? How funny. It was a total shot in the dark.
OK so I will try to be less opaque this time--this should be a snap.
From the Frances: This roadside madonna is before which town or at the foot of what alto?
Soon turning off for the night--so if after I do someone answers correctly to everyone's satisfaction, please go ahead and post.

Just Googled and the building seems to be identical, AJ. But C clearly doesn't seem to have been on the Camino de Madrid, so we'd better await confirmation.

So the wildcard is active. Anyone who hasn't had a chance?

Albergue Puente in Puente la Reina ? Not sure this is right but can't get a good view of the street level in back.

Nope, not Castrojeriz.

Here it is at 7 the next morning - the wall and clothes line are in the background. I have smudged out the name of the albergue in the photo, as that would make it too easy!
