Day 11 takes us, I think 27km to Padron. Again, limited Albergue options so we headed for the municipal, aiming to get there by 1. Early start and another day of quick marching. We arrived to a queue at 12. Lots of scouts and a few other...

@Bert45, a wild guess: Perhaps forum member @Mark Francis Auchincloss is the same person as the Mark Auchincloss who photographed the information board in Ligonde (see first photo below and https://g.co/kgs/PnJajYy - you may have to click on the...
