Camino Primitivo. On the day we walked the 'Ruta de Los Hospitales' in September 2018.
Slightly higher/longer view from the gallery, apologies for the head cropping.The upper segment of the amazing alterpiece of San Benito in the often bypassed Church of San Martino Pinario, a couple of hundred metres from the Cathedral in Santiago. The scale is staggering and impossible to capture fully in a photo for the average person, best enjoyed from the pews.
Would be interested to know where this was, please.While there are many water fountains along the way, I found this water wheel pump particularly interesting! You place your bottle below the spout below the wheel and then keep spinning the wheel counterclockwise until it pumps up water from the below. Low tech at its best!

Is there anyone that walked the Camino Francis that didn't take a picture of this farm house? For those that didn't, it is shortly before you arrive at VillaFranca del Bierzo. Picture from April 2019.

I arrived at an opportune moment.
As it was taken at 8am, I am impressed!By the time the sun is in that position, I am usually well into my second bottle of wine! Awesome picture though!
Haha...my bad, thought it was a sunset photo. No red wine before noon...As it was taken at 8am, I am impressed!
There are more Guardian Angels on the Camino than one might imagine.path to O Cebreiro

... I often recall that snowy climb and how lucky I was to have met a guardian angel.
Here is ours on 23rd, September, 2014. What a difference in the paddock in front.View attachment 95742

Couldn't agree more. We have had many wonderful, helpful experiences with Camino Angels, luckily!There are more Guardian Angels on the Camino than one might imagine.
Thanks @Theatregal and @Chenahusky for your photos of the scaffolding on the exterior of the Cathedral in 2017. It gives perspective to the progress of the restoration that was being undertaken for the Jubilee Year of 2021. By the time I arrived in April 2019 the scaffolding had migrated from the outside to the inside. Here is a photo of some scaffolding surrounding the Botafumeiro and the main altar (Photo 1). I hope to return in the spring of 2022 to see the inside without scaffolding. During the interior restoration in 2019 the Pilgrim Masses were held at the Church of St. Francis, not too far from the Cathedral, and although St. Francis is a pretty big church, it was still SRO (Photo 2).

I enjoyed stopping at David's hospitable "oasis" in 2017, having refreshing watermelon and a chat. I have read on the forum that he later left his property in the hands of a friend while he walked to Santiago barefoot and later returned. He was not too happy with the way it was being operated in his absence.Does anyone know how he is now? He deserves to be remembered and celebrated.
Great - thanks for the tip.@JohnLloyd @Camino Chrissy A camino friend who follows David Vidal Figuls on YouTube says he posts regularly there.
