Smells of the Camino

[Telluridewalker]

I was biking to work this morning when I passed a horse field and the pleasant smell of manure brought me right back to the Camino in my mind. Fresh manure is the primary smell I still associate with the Camino- do you have a smell that triggers your mind's return to the Camino?

I got some horrible shower gel on the Camino, which is still in my bathroom and only used in case of emergency. I think it's supposed to smell of roses. :roll:

SANTIAGO TART

Saw the flowers, smelt the flowers, ate the almonds, had lots of tart :lol:

Giving a talk on our Camino to our church agm in 2 weeks, Santiago Tarts will be there

Oh my gosh, I don't think I can identify a smell with the Camino! I definitely didn't notice manure, although I live in Wisconsin, which is full of cows, so I smell manure all the time. The eucalyptus groves were never fragrant when I went by. I guess this means I have to go back, walk it again, and find a smell to bring home with me. Oh, darn!

Dirt.
The smell of recently plowed earth in springtime. Puts you in touch with the land.

You obviously didn't have enough Tart either, you'll definitely have to go back :wink:

Marseille soap, with which I cleansed myself and my clothes.

Cafe con leche, or very good cappuccino, becouse you can´t get a real cafe con leche in Finland

The smell of spring flowers until Galicia. Then, it's this wonderful mix of manure and eucalyptus. Hmm!!!
