Finding my way out of Vila do Conde was easy but after some kilometers I got lost and rather frustrated finding my way back. The traffic did not help....

I hoped someone else with a good memory would step in, but so far, no takers. I am wondering if it is in the church in Torres del Rio? I have one of the same, somewhere, but cannot track it right now.Does anyone remember this? any info would be great, I took the photo somewhere before Estella.
Why do you think we use walking poles?Don't remember the tunnel and it looks a bit overgrown. If it had been in Australia I would be worrying about snakes!
True! That’s why we use them here as well as in Spain!Why do you think we use walking poles?
The photo was taken about an hour's walk before Estella, I remember it was on what seemed to resemble an old concrete bus shelter like we had/have, it could have been remnants of an old church or something. I also remember seeing this type of wall frieze on a few occasions on the north route, they are lovely and interesting though.I hoped someone else with a good memory would step in, but so far, no takers.

Is this near the Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Azuncion in Villatuerta or further west near the Ermita de San Miguel ?The photo was taken about an hour's walk before Estella, I remember it was on what seemed to resemble an old concrete bus shelter like we had/have, it could have been remnants of an old church or something.

This video by B K Lee shows his walk from from Puente de Reina to Estella in real time, almost five hours. Maybe you can scroll ahead some and find the time the painting appears in the video and tell us. That might help. If you click the title instead of the arrow in the thumbnail you should be able to get a larger video and other YouTube features.The photo was taken about an hour's walk before Estella, I remember it was on what seemed to resemble an old concrete bus shelter like we had/have, it could have been remnants of an old church or something.

I may have taken the photo as there was a stork's nest atop the gable wall... I hear @mspath cranking up her memories!

It probably was in that village, I would've stopped for a coffee hence the hour it took to walk to Estella, it's most probably to do with the iglesia. I'm trying to find it on google earth but to no avail, I came across it on the path anyway. That's why I should edit photos with the relevant informationIs this near the Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Azuncion in Villatuerta or further west near the Ermita de San Miguel ?
Was this painting exposed to the elements? How large was that "old concrete bus shelter" ?

I saw it not too long ago, posted in this thread. A few months... It was not in the open countryside, and there was a stork's nest above it. I sound so sure... but I am not!It probably was in that village, I would've stopped for a coffee hence the hour it took to walk to Estella, it's most probably to do with the iglesia.

I found it, it is in the Iglesia de nuestra señora de la Asunción in Villatuerta, but it's definitely not the original as you can see from the photoTry this link on Google maps fror the
Ermita de San Miguel Arcángel slightly west of Villatuerta but on the CF.

When I last passed by here in 2014 I did not go to the back of the site which appeared to be a bit too "lost" for me alone at 75.
Thank you all for helping to find that elusive "bus stop"I found it, it is in the Iglesia de nuestra señora de la Asunción in Villatuerta, but it's definitely not the original as you can see from the photo
Great news! Can you show us the " bus stop" ? Please do cite the publication in which you found it.Thank you all for helping to find that elusive "bus stop"
Yes, homework finished for the night!!I am not convinced... but it will not prevent me from sleeping! When I boot up my old laptop, if it still has the photos, I will find it. Please go to sleep, though. It could be some time before that happens! I can visualise an A shaped wall, and am pretty sure it has a stork's nest atop it. also, to the left as you look at it, maybe a lamp post...There are two fresco type panels... that resemble what was in the OP's photo.
Then again, people have been hung for less - memories can be fickle!
I actually meant Australia, this is where I live. My usual technique is to tap heavily as I walk along in the hope the snake will feel the vibrations and scarper before I get there. Usually works.True! That’s why we use them here as well as in Spain!
Yes, I (Anne) actually walk behind Pat as he does exactly what you describe trying to deter the snakes.I actually meant Australia, this is where I live. My usual technique is to tap heavily as I walk along in the hope the snake will feel the vibrations and scarper before I get there. Usually works.
Dang autocorrect!It is, but as VNwalking says above... what the heck? We know it was the keyboard taking over! Or something...
Yep. I find that my spelling is getting worse in EnglishJust curious... is it not Alto del Perdón?
I can see why. Even if the poppies weren't there.This is from near Eunate, one of my favorite camino photos.
You always amaze me with your ability to wonder from trail to trail on any of the Camino's. You really get around.Tiebas

These two French pilgrims entered the one Tiebas cafe at lunchtime; they had begun the Aragonese at Somport. We three happily shared snowstorm stories while enjoying hot Arroz Cubano.
Seeking a change of terrain during my 5th camino I had left the CF at Cizor Menor
on NA 6000, walked roughly 14km to Campanas, then on NA121 SE to Muruarte de Reta to join the Camino Aragonese near Tiebas. I planned to continue on the Aragonese to Eunate and then rejoin the CF at Puente La Reina.
I want some that Beicon!I love shopping at little tiendas in the villages. This is El Barullo. A tienda and bar/cafe in Ambasmetas. The owners couldn't be more friendly and they do Gluten free food as well! CF May 2019. I haven't posted for a few days, so extra pictures.

Absolutely lovely!Sort of. This is from near Eunate, one of my favorite camino photos. (I posted it in one of the earlier threads, but what the heck...)

Hope you don't mind, but I saw your photo and instantly remembered this (which I think I've posted before). It's from the bathroom of the albergue in Castra on the Primitivo, and should anyone ask, I have a very small, light, camera.August 2, 2013. A familiar early morning sound of tapping metal tip poles, brought me to the window of my room at the Casa Rural Chao San Martin in Castro on the Primitivo. I love seeing pilgrims on their way for the day, knowing I'm about to join them.

Delicious when the bread has just been collected from the bakery, and the jam is "of the place". Good memories.
Lucky you. Here is ours from September, 2014. Empty nests on a very grey day!CF August 3, 2019 Before crossing the bridge at Hospital de Orbigo stork season.

Fabulous photo Kanga. Yes Saint Cirq Lapopie is certainly another of France's most beautiful villages, sitting high above the river with sensational panoramas. We entered along the artistically carved towpath beside the river and weir/lock, before a steep climb up into the gorgeous little village.Loved Conques. I had a special birthday dinner there.
Also Saint-Cirq-Lapopie on the Célé Valley variant of the Le Puy route. 2 May 2010. Gosh, time to do that again!

Interesting perspective for a photo ... love it!The puente in Puente la Reina

The same canal at FromistaThe Canal de Castilla, just outside Medina del Rioseco (CdeM), where one of its branches begins, early in the morning before the sun burnt off the mist. A potentially magnificent piece of engineering that fell victim to procrastination and politicking - just as it was opened, a railway was built so it was barely used and never made much money. Further north, the Francés passes by it just before Fromísta

Surprising that there's not a word in the website about why the ship was no longer needed, which was the collapse of the North Atlantic cod fishery - one of the greatest ecological tragedies of our time.often sailed the North Atlantic cod route to Newfoundland. Now restored and moored in Viana do Castelo
You have completed some very interesting walks Reija. We crossed the Pyrenees in June 2015 after walking from Le Puy to SJPDP and those wild horses really intimidated a female pilgrim ... possibly because they were protective of the foal. A challenging day's walk but we were thrilled that the Napoleon route was open. Spectacular vistas.The Napoleon way August 2016. One of the very first pictures from my very first Camino.
