Hi Jasmine, sorry can't help you there but I wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.Hi All, this is my 7th day of walking and I'm longing for places that offer reflections and quiet times. I can only find one, the pilgrims oasis in Viana. Does anyone know places like this along the camino? I find the whole thing very touristic.

With 162,000 pilgrims on the Camino Frances last year (and increasing this year), it is hard for it not to have developed the infrastructure to support them! Except for shells and walking sticks, I do not remember a lot of touristic offerings. You can leave parts of the camino, but you take yourself everywhere you go, so you may need to identify what you have brought and what the camino is providing. Regardless, have a buen camino. It is hard not to find parts that you love, especially the people!I find the whole thing very touristic.
Such places are most often found in your heart, in spite of your physical surroundings.Hi All, this is my 7th day of walking and I'm longing for places that offer reflections and quiet times.

So many... Hard to tell from OP where they are...little labyrinth outside of Moratinos. Church in Navarette, the Michelangelo in Logroño, mass in triacastela, the walk up OCebreiro, almost any day in Galicia, the Meseta at dawn, dozens of little yards in albergues along the way. Only touristy bits I saw were in OCebreiro and Santiago...
Hi, Jasmine,
Don't know where you are or exactly what you seek.
But there are plenty of quiet places, especially if you walk out of synch with the crowd.
You probably have already passed Eunate...
Albergues--especially parroquials--are not so touristic.
As mentioned..San Bol
Also of course Granon, San Nicholas (in Itero), and San Anton; also San Francisco de Asis in Tosantos, and Santa Maria in Carrion. There are others.....
Asking the hospitaleros/sisters at these places will direct you to them.
And to find your own quiet place within, regardless of what is going on outside...this is the biggest challenge (and eventual delight) the Camino offers! Good luck, and Buen Camino.
Small but powerful crucifixion and only one of his works outside Italy. Totally worth seeing!
Likewise. I stayed there and went to mass, even--but didn't linger or look around much.I can't believe I so blithely walked through Logroño and didn't know about the one there.

I found that walking apart from the main day lengths written in the John Brieley book was very helpful. We chose smaller albergues in smaller towns along the way and spent lots of time sitting in churches. This was always a way for me to rest my body as well as my mind. I was walking just a few weeks ago and found that if I left around 7:45-8 in the morning the trail was pretty quiet and I could also find peace there, after the bulk of Brieley-paced walkers were gone.Hi All, this is my 7th day of walking and I'm longing for places that offer reflections and quiet times.

GRANON definitely. This is perhaps my favourite Albergue. There's mass in the evening and a wonderful fellowship in the albergue.... I love going to GRANONHi, Jasmine,
