Hi everyone,
My wife and I bought an old stone house just outside Santiago about a year ago. The property is quite big, with a 2nd house that we want to fix-up. It is not a big house, but about 40m2 on one floor.
One of the things we are thinking of is restoring it and renting it out to people visiting Santiago de Compostela. With the new road that they are making, it would be about 5-10 minutes to Santiago by car. We have not yet decided anything, and it will still be a year or two before anything is done, but we are in the planning stages.
Then I got started thinking about the pilgrims. Would this be interesting for pilgrims on either el camino portuguese or the trip out to Finisterre?
Our house is located here:

If you find Brión and Ames west of Santiago, I live just under the B in "Brión" and just left of the A in "Ames".
Would this be too close to Santiago for a pilgrim to stay? Would it be out of the way in regards to the caminos?
We are still working on restoring the main house, but have to start making some plans for the smaller house we want to fix up.
Thanks for your feedback,
Ivar
