There have been a few posts recently wondering how solitary the Primitivo is, and whether one is liable to meet any young people on it. Folks at El Oasis Primitivo donativo stand have been taking photos of pilgrims visiting their stand and sharing them on Facebook (with their knowledge and consent - so it doesn't fall afoul of Rule #12 even by link). I thought I would share today's post, which should be visible to everyone, not just Facebook users, so people can get an idea of what one day's traffic looks like. Obviously people who did not stop there or didn't consent to their photos being taken and shared are not included.

Must be the one at Gondar, there's no other stand on the whole Primitivo.

I hadn't intended stopping there but I was called in by some people that I knew. Friendly folk running the place.
They were dishing out watermelon when I went through: I can't stand the stuff, try explaining that when you don't speak Spanish.....

It's possible to view the post without being a Facebook member. Just X out of the log in screen, and ignore the prompts to log in or sign up at the bottom of the screen.

Even doing that I can only view a few photos. The screen says 16 + photos but when I try and view them it just tells me to login, xing out doesn't help.

I guess it would be of more interest to anyone that uses Facebook.

For future reference, I believe that would be "No me gusta la sandia" bit I could be wrong because I haven't checked that.

::::Ok.

Thanks, all.
That station was a lifesaver for me, checking my FindPenguins log against my memory. My stomach had been upset, so I wasn't carrying or eating enough to get me the 30kms from O Cadavo to Lugo. The gentleman running the stand had apples and pears from his own orchard, plus watermelon and oranges. I remember him taking a selfie, but since he never got my name, I wasn't worried about him tagging the photos. He did ask permission before talking the selfie...
