LIVE from the Camino My Caminho da Geira e dos Arrieiros Nov 2024

Casa Pernas, here in Pontevea, was recommended to me. I can see why it would be recommended to a pilgrim:

Unfortunately, they don't get back from vacation and re-open until tomorrow.

As I recall, @Charrito was not thrilled with it. According to my notes, the review was

I do NOT travel to Galicia to eat a burger!!!!!!

I've had many a cold Estrella there. @Mark Francis Auchincloss had a wine tasting with the owner, I seem to recall!

Wonderful blue skies David and photos.... oh how I pine for the Torres in March.

I rarely eat burgers but would certainly entertain the idea as an endlessly hungry pilgrim !!

Well said Daniel Pernas:
“WALKER, YOUR FOOTPRINTS ARE THE WAY AND NOTHING ELSE.”

Well said Daniel Pernas:
“WALKER, YOUR FOOTPRINTS ARE THE WAY AND NOTHING ELSE.”

Not sure who Daniel Pernas is (maybe the sculptor?) but those are lines from Antonio Machado’s poem:

Caminante, son tus huellas
el camino y nada más;
Caminante, no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace el camino,
y al volver la vista atrás
se ve la senda que nunca
se ha de volver a pisar.
Caminante, no hay camino
sino estelas en la mar.

I thought it was funny that the sculpture was of two hands rather than two feet, but then I decided those hands must be holding one of the forum’s favorite topics — hiking poles!

Since it is right in front of the Casa Pernas restaurant, I figured he was the restauranteur.

I definitely saw them as hiking poles. The other sides had more from the poem and the route.
