I always liked this part of the Google Arts & Culture profile on Ivar:

When asked about the most bizarre question he's seen, Ivar remembers one in particular: "'What time in the morning does the Camino open?' They thought there was some kind of door that they had to get through."

Leaving Verín on the Sanabrés alternate route this morning, the first thing we did was to climb up the hill to the Monterrei Castle. After exploring the castle, we headed down the other side of the hill where we could rejoin the camino.

When we had almost reached the path, we stumbled upon it: the door to the camino!

And it’s just how I pictured it. Lucky it was open!

Phew. Imagine having to wait for someone to bring the key. Or if it was the day when no-one in Verin is around and needing to wait til tomorrow.

Once you are nearing the top, you are rewarded by this split in the granite rock. Perhaps los dragones de la Reina Lupa carved it out?
