Amazing ... I don't recall these windows at all !!! But yes, of course, it's that church. With that apse chapel. In that place. Right next to where I stayed one night not so long ago. In the house of the maestro, or some similar name. The church can't have budged much since then.Location of church: Is it really on the Camino Francés? Then I would regret not having looked at it more closely. Although ... wait a minute ... nah ... can't be. Did the church I am thinking of have that many windows? Is this photo a mirror image?
I thought that was in Santo Domingo de la Calzada?The mural of the fellow covered in stamps is in Logrono
Just yesterday I saw a photo on Instagram of a place on the Francés that I couldn't remember at all but one that seemed like I should have remembered. And there were lots of comments from people saying, 'I remember that!' I guess it goes to show - again - that no two caminos are the same, we all see things differently, and that's part of the magic of it.I think that all of them must have been built/made since I walked the CF last year as I can't remember any of them!
No It in Logrono near the Fuente del Peregrino and Calle de Boterias.Mural

1. Logrono.Something a little different this time. Here are five photos from the Camino Francés with questions. The photos are in chronological order to provide some clues. ¡Buena suerte!
1. Where is this mural to be found?

Yes! Now I see it. I walked around it a few times and I may even have a similar picture. But I drew a complete blank when I first looked at Jungleboy's photo. How soon they forget....5. Looking at the top of the church, I'm thinking this is Portomarin. We are so used to seeing it from the front that it is hard to recognize from this angle.
No fair, you can’t give more clues. But you did remind me that when I walked into the albergue in the town with those walls, after having slept there once about 4 years earlier, Laura said, Hola Laura, I remember your hat.The guy covered in stamps is in a place known for its pinxos.
The first church is about half way.
If you stay in the town with the walls, please say hi to Laura for me - she's been a hospi there for a loooong time!
The gloomy guys may be in a city whose high gothic cathedral is known for its stained glass...I'm not sure of this one.
The church moved, I think, not wanting to get its feet wet.

I took a day trip back from Leon to go to the excellent Museo Etnográfico in Mansilla de las Mulas, and waited nearby for the bus back to Leon.The city walls are in Mansilla de las Mulas viewed as you look back when stepping onto the bridge leaving town.
Sometimes our memories are episodic. Especially memories of journeys. They kind of run like a sequential video.I stayed the night in Mansilla de las Mulas. I've now taken a trip through it in Google Earth. It helped me to remember that I did walk around the town. I did see parts of the wall and the rests of the towers. I even turned around on the bridge when I left town the next morning and I did see the wall on the left side. Yet it made no lasting impression. I had completely forgotten about it.
What I remember most vividly from my stay, and I have talked about it to friends, are the embutidos that were for sale in a shop where I had breakfast, next to an albergue. Oh how I remember all these smoked hams and smoked sausages, hanging from the ceiling, from the walls, displayed on the counter ... I wish I were there. Or that I could at least go shopping there tomorrow morning.
They numbered the stones before they dismantled the church and transported the stones to the new location in Portomarín and erected it there. You can see some of the numbers on the outer church wall (see photo below).the church in Portomarín and what's noteworthy about its location is that it was dismantled and moved to accommodate the building of a dam
I remember their chairs on the pavement, too. Opposite of my room. Great idea for a quiz, @jungleboy.we were eating at the Italian osteria on the back side of the church
Thank you @jungleboy ! That was fun.Thanks for playing!
@mspath has forgotten more about the Camino than I think I will ever know. A bow of appreciation for your open-handed sharing! It enriches us all.the first to confirm and add more detail was @mspath! (It turns out that if you walk the CF 11 times, you know a thing or two about it!)
I know a couple of the answers but I think yours is the best Camino reply. A reminder that the details aren't the most important thing.How's that for a reply?
- Mural: I know that it is on the Camino Francés. In one of the earlier sections. Seen photos. Never saw it in real life.
- Romanesque-Mudéjar church: Stood exactly on the same spot where the photo was taken. Looked at exactly the same round arches.
- City walls: May have seen them. May have walked around that corner. Is there a tiny portal in the wall to the left where you can walk through? But would have to look at photos/Google to be certain.
- Unhappy looking fellows. Did I see that pattern anywhere? No recollection.
- Location of church: Is it really on the Camino Francés? Then I would regret not having looked at it more closely. Although ... wait a minute ... nah ... can't be. Did the church I am thinking of have that many windows? Is this photo a mirror image?
My guess would be that the first letter of the name of the towns is once in the first half of the alphabet and three times in the second half of the alphabet with one unknown.
