Meat dish in Finisterre. 2015.
When you are too tired to listen to what they say in rapid Spanish. And half a farm lands on your plate...
What delicious photos; they make me hungry.Pics of food are not my thing, but sometimes...
Today two courses of the most amazing food I was offered at Meson Lucas in Chantada, when I told them I was lacto-ovo vegetarian and please make whatever was easy. The MOST amazing salad without a molecule of iceberg lettuce in sight, with walnuts, goat cheese and balsamic dressing; then an omelette francesca with.......
pimentos de padron!
Simple and perfect.
I didn't capture the desert. But it was delicious, too, a very rich flan.

Recovering arachnophobe here. That has always given me the willies.
A quieter place of heart: the bridges of Pone Ulla on the Sanabres:

There was indeed! More than one on this wild weather March day between Vilasario and Olveiroa, alternating between deluge, brief clearing with sun, light rain, sun, deluge, sun and even light snow over Monte Aro before the descent to Olveiroa. I arrived at Casa Loncho in Olveiroa drenched and cold, thankful for a bowl of caldo gallego and the warmth of the fire place in their cafe, where I sat most of the late afternoon. Despite the weather I remember this as an exhilarating day both for the challenge and for the beauty of the landscape in the changing light.Theatregal,

Indeed the comfort of a fireplace is wonderful in weather like that. I always stayed at the nearby pilgrim albergue which also had a big fireplace in the common dining area.There was indeed!

Pat & I are going to try and have a wee holiday for 3 1/2 weeks visiting some of our family in northern Victoria, New South Wales and Canberra. But the best laid plans of mice and men may not eventuate due to COVID! But we are ever hopeful! So we won't be posting any photos during this time, as all our photos are on our computer at home, but will be checking in every day to look at yours. Will return in 3 1/2 weeks, hopefully not before!
Buen Camino,
Anne & Pat.
Have a great time!Approaching Barcelos. Caminho Portuguese, May, 2016.

@JillGat has the answer. A thread called Pedra Furada, first post. A lovely photo, she looks so very happy and relaxed!What is that, @kirkie? A millstone?
A cold day in March, before San Juan de Ortega, with pilgrims ahead disappearing into the the freezing mist.

I remember that part. We walked in May 2016. It was soooo HOT! The best part was arriving in Molinesca and soaking our feet in the river. The town was quite charming.This was taken on 15/05/2012 after leaving El Acebo and on the way down to Molinaseca, it is one of my favourite photos of the Camino. The clouds were below us for a while, it was magic. That is my brother just ahead of me.

Remind me to have a glass of wine with you at some point, you seem to know all the best places.
I can vouch for that. She does - even when never having been to a place before. My only hypothesis is that it's a special sixth sense.you seem to know all the best places.
