I am really curious and would like to know more about the first photo in this thread with the stone altar and the open air mass cerenomy, especially the location.
I assume that you took the photo yourself? Why do you label it: Carraig an Aifrinn (Mass on Camino)? Doesn't Irish Carraig an Aifrinn mean Mass Rock in English and does it not describe something typically found in Ireland where, unlike in Spain, there was religious persecution of the Catholic Church in Ireland during the 17th and 18th centuries, and such open air stone altars served as a location for secret and illegal gatherings of faithful attending the Mass offered by outlawed priests, see:
Mass rock - Wikipedia
Perhaps you can tell from the sequence of your other Camino photos whereabouts this photo was taken if you took it yourself. This stone altar is an unusual fixed structure for Spain with its numerous hermitages and small chapels scattered all over the countryside, and if it is on the Camino Francés I am surprised that it appears to be unknown on the forum. I've never seen this before or heard of it before.
It would be great if you would provide some background to this photo.

I might be wrong, but the OPs initial pic reminds me of this place as I was walking from Torres Del Rio to Viana. I had just climbed a hill and I found this curious structure, not quite as it looks in the OPs picture but I remember trying to figure out its purpose. It’s from a different angle, and the OPs pic could have been of a different area just a few meters away. Or I could be wrong, of course.
