I think I know where it is, but as I had my turn recently, I just sit back for a while ;-) Happy questing, SY

I go for Villatuerta--is it Casa Magica?
(A wild guess as I've never been inside--and if it IS, I'm happy to cede the answer to @jdpiguet, as I'm signing off now...)

Guete morge, @jdpiguet...bitte!
So...guessing somewhere on the way to Fisterra/Muxia, but never having been past Santiago I wouldn't know.
 
OK, I give up
The ships are giving a hint: it's close to the sea.
And the albergue has already been mentioned/discussed on the forum.
It is in the middle of the town.
More in one hour if nobody is coming closer
 
Sorry to be late, boss was insisting on getting me working
Did I not have more important things to do ?
So, yes, it is in Muxía , at the Bella-Muxía albergue .
Who likes to post the next picture ?

not for me...if it's a part I walked, I won't recognize it without snow, and with so many people in the picture...::shudder::

oh, excellent guess...of course my misanthropic picture is a bit different, but I'll bet you are correct...

Past Atapuerca? Wild guess that I think is probably wrong. It's steep, but I don't remember it being that wooded...ditto places in the meseta.
Other places are wooded but not that steep...my memory of Alto de Perdon is that it's way rockier.
(Taking into account the vegetation, I don't think it's in the Pyrenees or Galicia)

That's it! I don't remember the hill, just the generally bitter weather and my very sore foot that day.

Well done SY and Viranani! Go ahead any of you two.
 
I have a pic from more or less the same place (I think) but boy does it look different! (The corner of the house is just at the left edge of the frame.)

I had to find that one with a search. One of these skulls is an avatar for a forum member and a search on the forum didn't bring him up but a did come across a post mentioning skull and Navarette. While Navarette was wrong I found a blog mentioning Navarette and the picture and text I posted.

Anyway, not terribly difficult for some here who have great memories but name this place.

A hint before I turn off my computer for the night. It's on the Camino--this was a pic taken out of the Albergue window.

I think it looks like this one just before Puente de Reina...it was the first one I saw on the camino...I have no idea where @Rick of Rick and Peg's picture is ...
but since it looks like a drawing of a pilgrim I"m going to say Astorga

well, I guess we will have to wait to see which it is in @Viranani's notes...in my pictures it is after the pilgrim statue but before my pictures of the churches in puente de Reina...I'm fine with losing to you...sort of...I don't have many Frances cards to play in this game anyway...

Smallest Sparrow has it--go!
(I have been elsewhere...sorry...and way over in Asia, so out of sync with everyone else's time zone!
It's the view right out the back window of the Albergue in PlR...

And I have no clue, Rick.
Wildly casting about for an unlikely guess...Virgen del Camino?
I have no memory of it there but it IS unlikely.

So all you Frances fans this means it was either after Irache and before Leon, or after Ponferrada and before Melide

It's impossible to remember what one never saw...
And online digging may work for some people, but it's just not my thing.
So I'll just guess again.
Burgos, perhaps in the cloister?

Burgos Cathedral. But not in the cloister. It is at the paid tourist entrance. I was so astonished to see this in a cathedral filled with much higher art that I not only took it's picture but I transferred it to my tablet (and thus ended up having it saved.)

As I remember the location it was on the wall between areas 2 and 6 in the plan below, facing area 2. It took up most of the wall.


Your turn again @Viranani
 
Amazing.
OK...This shouldn't be tooooo hard.
The Maria Dolorosa in a church, during Semana Santa--soon to go out for the procession.
What church, what town?

Hints for whomever's still playing:
  1. The church is said to be founded by a saint during their pilgrimage to Santiago.
  2. The ceiling, the frescos...
  3. @Smallest_Sparrow has been through this town...

Unless it is a side chapel of the church I would say - Convento de San Francisco in Santiago? But I remember the main church very different and haven't been to the side chapels there ... Confused, SY

Tadaaaaaaaaaa, Rick takes it.
Now try--the pics should show. I deleted and then reloaded them.
It's a very special church, I think my favorite of the whole Frances. There's a special feel in there--very Franciscan. The interior pic is from another chapel, not the main nave, which is much simpler.

Yes, they show now. Still weird is that your last post didn't show in the recent activity list either. Besides the point anyway.

It was a lovely spot that I did visit but I just couldn't place it. @SYates really should get the credit for this.

I normally have a window up with 7 camino related tabs active. I'm going to blow them all away now because I really have to do some other things with my time and this game is just too addictive for my own good right now. I may reattach in the evenings and mornings. So ... please @SYates or someone else post the next picture.

BTW, @Viranani thanks for starting the "I need a laugh" thread.

Yes, Rick, but you called the town. Graciously done.
I need to go to bed now, so @SYates...go for it....
(And you're very welcome, Rick. It was self-preservation. I did need a laugh. Still do. So I hope it goes for a while longer...people are posting some very funny stories...)
 
Ok, turn your time machine on ;-) Which old parish house/rectory is being renovated into an albergue in this photo? SY

No, not Foncebadon, far closer too the beginning of the CF. Hint: That photo was taken 15+ years ago, the albergue is now well established and known. Buen Camino, SY

@AJ...so?
(Actually I don't think there are any rules here about that, right?)
Click to expand...

This raises the question: should there be rules? Personally I don't care one way or the other. For me "cheating" in this game is using the web to find an answer when you don't have a clue, as was the case for me in this one. However, using the web to check whether your guess is correct, or to refine it is, for me, a different thing.

SY started the game, so I think it should be her call.

Actually I don't mind either way. Does it really matter how the solution is found? It is just a bit of a fun game and there are no prices, so 'cheating' doesn't really matter. Just keep the game going @AJ ! SY
 
Correct! Now one of your pictures please ;-) SY

PS The pictures shows some of the hardy volunteers that renovated the old rectory/parish house of Tosantos in winter 2001/2002 - it was cold!!!

Warmer

Harder than I expected.

Bed time, so no more from me for a while.

The location is quite specific which is why I ask what is behind me. And it isn't a cow.
