@SabineP

I was in SDC - when the final stage of the La Vuelta reached SDC in 2014. And I saw Alberto Contador and the others bicycling the final stage and greeting them in the evening show at the Obradoiro.

We saw the teams on other stages also in Portugal and in Galicia.

WoW!

...but this has nothing to do with the camino of course ...

The Vuelta this year is mostly in Northern Spain and the Camino del Norte will probably be the most inconvenienced by road closures etc.

I firmly believe that the camino has a lot to do with that great word serendipity....inconvenience is one word...another way of looking at it might be it's a fantastic opportunity to see yet another spectacle!

Do they have bells on their bikes so pilgrims know they are coming?

Lots of people have bells on their bikes.....not all choose to use them! Or better still some wait to the last minute possibly in a personal game of 'how many pilgrims jumped today?'. I'm having another look at the word serendipity on the basis of this....one man's serendipitous experience may not be universally shared by those on foot!

This year all the stages of La Vuelta include, minimum, a camino town or city.

I'm watching - especially these stages in north Galicia as I'd like to walk the Ingles sometime. Recorder is set today so I can get a good look at Betanzos. And with British riders well up there in the GC to watch it's helping to make up for Olympic withdrawal syndrome.
