You mentioned the use of wood in Canada rather than stone - yesterday my sister told me that a lot of significant history has been lost in Jasper as a result of the fires. She is about 6 and a half hours drive, west of Jasper, but of course it hurts everyone in the country...April 28, 2024 Camino Sanabres
The village of Cea, after Ourense, is know for its many bakeries, all of which produce Pan de Cea, the only bread in Galicia protected and monitored for quality.
Coming from Canada, where we seem to make everything from wood, I was awed by these stone balconies. There is an amazing amount of granite in Galicia. In northern Portugal too.

Yes, I’m sure timber was used in all the historic structures in the townsite of Jasper, which was surrounded by magnificent forest. I am saddened by the loss of so much natural beauty, in Jasper and in many other areas of western Canada. The feeling has been termed “ecological grief”.You mentioned the use of wood in Canada rather than stone - yesterday my sister told me that a lot of significant history has been lost in Jasper as a result of the fires.

Yet again, a tiny word. For many years, a small business held up a fancy development in a posh area in Dublin. Eventually... once more, it yielded.August 6, 2013. Camino Primitivo. View from Lugo's wall.
I always wonder what the story is here - how / why did this stone cottage remain?

Set within the attic of their historic building this albergue in 2007 offered 1 hot plate/kettle,1 shower/toilet, rather erratic winter heat and 20 single beds; simple but sufficient, all felt cosy.
It works. Now, tell us more!
In a month or so but not now!!!It works. Now, tell us more!
Two for the price of one. It´s quite a climb up to the tunnel and we reasonably expected to have it to yourselves. It was not to be. It was the day of a local romería so lots of locals had taken the short way up. But they were having fun. It would be a sad world if we persisted in resenting other people having fun.Welcome to the 11th photo of the day thread!
Started during the height of Covid when we were all house-bound, these threads have taken on a life of their own, and a reliable daily source of joy for all of us who are home and thinking about the Camino.
So this is a place to share memories and short reflections, one photo per day, one day at a time. Some of us will not make it to Spain this year, so this is our every day Camino fix. If you have been along for the ride since 1.0, you may find you need to repeat your posts,, but that is totally fine! We will see them with new eyes.
For new contributors, please note:
One photo per day (from any camino)
Please attach the thumbnail size so that even those of us with slow connections can see them.
My photo today is from the Vasco in 2019, so called the 'Tunnel Route' because of this - a (possibly) Roman trick of turning a cave into a tunnel:

No doubt, it is that key!The altar within the church of San Esteban at Zabaldika, March 24, 2022. A sign on the door directed me to a house close by, and a lady unlocked the church for me, probably using that beautiful key.
