Oh my goodness, how I remember that section. Try what it is like in Culloden, Scotland, sometime. And yes, a superb photo.

Oh my goodness, how I remember that section. Try what it is like in Culloden, Scotland, sometime. And yes, a superb photo.On this day in 2012, between Villafranca Montes de Oca and San Juan de Ortega - a misty foggy morning through the forest passing the Monument to the Fallen, those executed during the Civil War. A morning strong in my memory. I didn't know about the monument until I came to it, but well before the place, the atmosphere was hushed and reflective with most people - even those in groups - moving into walking solo, quietly.

I’ve used it for my phone screen. I hope that's OK.
All credit to your artistic eye.
Looking in much the same direction from a little higher up on the same stage out of Ponferrada on the Invierno. This view is from "el banco más bonito del Bierzo" near Cornatel Castle.A view back towards Ponferrada and the northern Bierzo on the first day of the Invierno.

I also posted someone else's photo in ignorance too, as I'd not read the forum rules for a long time. I appreciated being reminded by a mod.Hi Theatregirl. My apologies. I wasn't aware of the rule. It's a good rule and it makes sense of course. I shall remove. Thanks for pointing it out.
That was where the group of us who banded together, very loosely, on the Portugués, met up for dinner. It was very enjoyable, plenty of space for everyone and not at all expensive. The following evening we hosted anyone still around in the kitchen of the Last Stamp, another treasure we discovered that time. It was Casa Pasta, a winner every time!!! I have very few photos but it is a joy to keep seeing those posted, so don’t sign out of the thread!This may well be my last contribution to this thread, as I've now reached the end of my pictures from both of my Caminos.
By chance, the celebratory dinner for my Portugués was held at the same place I'd whooped it up at the end of my Francés.
It was quite a night, on both occasions.
One day, I'll walk to Santiago again, and I know which restaurant I'll visit when I get there.
If you start all over again we can enjoy them a second time. Seriously...just a thought.This may well be my last contribution to this thread, as I've now reached the end of my pictures from both of my Caminos.
Good idea - I think I may be starting to post a second time already because I've forgotten what I've already postedIf you start all over again we can enjoy them a second time. Seriously...just a thought.
Thank you for all your many entries on this thread, John!This may well be my last contribution to this thread, as I've now reached the end of my pictures from both of my Caminos

No, I took the picture. (Inside joke, sorry people.)
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition prison!Nearing Salmerón, first village in Guadalajara province on the Lana, where the (very comfortable) albergue is in the Inquisition prison.

I enjoy seeing this photo @VNwalking because this was the day I took the wrong turn out of Las Medulas and entered Puente de Domingo Florez in a different part of town from another direction!Coming into Puente de Domingo Florez on the Invierno.
Well...here is another bit, then, from quite a way farther up, though after where you turned off to Yeres, looking in that direction. In fact, the road in the photo may actually be the one you took:I enjoy seeing this photo @VNwalking because this was the day I took the wrong turn out of Las Medulas and entered Puente de Domingo Florez in a different part of town from another direction!
Like "Which way are you taking?"Great!Situations like these make me smile, but re-thinking them during the next hours of walking, they sometimes open up a deeper meaning to me. It's when your way begins to talk to you...
Yes, I do believe that is the road less traveled - one that I am happy I tookWell...here is another bit, then, from quite a way farther up, though after where you turned off to Yeres, looking in that direction. In fact, the road in the photo may actually be the one you took:
I wonder about all these friends and hope they are well!I talked to the 2 women on the right. They said friends liked to stop and visit here before going in to mass.
I do too. Especially as I've been following along with my 2012 Camino - remembering all the people - especially the elders I met and communicated with along the way.I wonder about all these friends and hope they are well!
I think it is but I also thought that it might be somewhere farther along. On my desktop pictures are organized pretty much chronologically but not so much on my smartphone.Rick - this looks like the early stages of the Alto del Perdon. Cheers
Not far from Valdorria, just off the Olvidado between Boñar and Vegacervera, near where San Froilán (with help from his pet wolf, whom he'd tamed after the latter chomped his mule) built his León mountain hermitage.
OMG yes.Then there's all those zero calories pastries in Burgos... can smell the café con leche from here
