Samos, Monastery of San Julian.jpg

Painted c.1955 these fantastic and historic figures surround an Oratorium door. Seen during a guided tour exactly 20 years ago this new mural was most impressive and rather frightening.

may we go forward with hope.

En route to Burgos on the final leg of the Via de Bayona - March, 2024. The weather was not my friend
Oh yes. That place. It was memorable, even with good weather and less water underfoot.

Thank you all for keeping this thread going, with so many wonderful images!
 
This is also the Camino.
A road that goes on and on. Rain and no shelter.
6th of September 2024.
From Castro Dozon to Botos.
How well I remember the N525! I walked it all the way from Castro Dozon to Lalin because it was the only foolproof way of making sure I ended up in Lalin.
I tried following tracks suggested by Google maps, but my fear of getting lost sent me quickly back down to the highway. If only I had bought a Spanish SIM card…I had to keep switching to the other side of the road whenever I was approaching a blind corner, and there were many trucks. It was not a pleasant experience! But at least it wasn’t raining.
