      Here we are! My brother and I have finished our first day of the Camino Primitivo starting in Lugo. Of course, the things that I was worried about were fine (plenty of open restaurants / food on Reyes Magos, no food on this tramite as expected...

      On my walks on the mountains between Asturias and Galicia I found some people living in " abandoned villages". In Allande municipality ( capital Pola) in a village with no road and public electricity I found a girl from Madrid living alone and a...

      After my 2016 Camino, my son and I were in a little bar in Madrid and got to talking with someone else in the bar, who had come from a little village on the Frances. He still returns to visit his parents and for the fiesta. He said that when he...

      AntiguenoTom reacted to HBS60's post in the thread Expat Pilgrims with Like Like.
      Not sure exactly where to post this as it’s probably off-topic, but here it goes! As I’ve mentioned, I decided to move to Spain. Over the last month I’ve been gathering/requesting documents, submitting them to Bureaucracy.es, following their...

      If I had not relocated to the middle of nowhere in Northern Scandinavia around a decade ago, I would be rather tempted to settle in one of those abandoned places in Northern Spain ...

      A few years ago, following the recommendation of an informative hospitalero in Navia, I took a detour to the Asturian pueblo of Pesoz. It’s not a ghost village, but it is a mere shadow of its former self. On arrival, I was given an impromptu tour...
    • AntiguenoTom
      there is a ghost town only 1.5 kilometers from my pueblo, Moratinos, called San Martin de la Fuente. There's a much bigger one about 15 km. south, (near the Madrid route) ironically named Villacreces. With the rise of the tractor and modern...
