    So I went to a library with real books today. It is owned and managed by a Camino association with a history of some 40 years. With more than 2000 books related to the Camino and the pilgrimage to Santiago. The list on their website said that...

    We may have never seen the noble houses with arms bearing wolf-heads in Boente and we don't know whether there are any left or whether they collapsed and have been torn down during the past 50 years or so but one can certainly see such coat of...

    Dougfitz, I was being facetious when I said that I had almost begun to think that the authors had made the 'facts' up. I emphasised 'almost'. I know that the internet is unreliable. We had a long thread a while ago about the weight of charcoal...

    "Boente is a parroquia consisting of Boente de Abaixo, Boente de Arriba, Martulo, Outeiro, Os Pazos and A Peroxa. Did you search in all of them for the noble houses?" I knew about the first two, but not the other four. The detailed walking...

    Well, in this thread we are talking about the English translation of a French book with Bernés as the principal author and Véron and Laborde Balen as co-authors, and if I feel like it I might go and have a look at the 1986 French edition next...

    I googled around a bit, including looking at websites in French and Galician. These assumptions in the thread appear to be wrong or at least doubtful: that “nabal” means turnip field or vegetable garden. In the given context, it is a toponym...
