Easy? Whatdaya mean, easy?
Not.

No not Burgos. I thought this image was well known as it can be viewed upside down too. The building is certainly one of the most notable on the CF and has a close relative further along.

Bedtime for me, so if anyone is confident of their solution, feel free to post.

Perhaps it's in that gem St Martin in Fromista. But when I was there it was closed so I didn't see the reputed bizarre capital carvings.
 
Another wild guess, and likely wrong because it's off the CF a ways--but it fits your clues:
Eunate?

I just googled it AJ, (as one does). What a stunning piece of architecture; and I missed it on my camino! How it slipped through the net I don't know. Ah well, bucket list.
 
Next time for me, too...
Ok, so I know that this place will have looked very different than this for most people.I am told there's a view but I sure didn't see it.
Oh. This is on the Francés.

The gorgeous girls are Basque, which is irrelevant, but what are they looking at? Or into?

Another view of the tree. The way out of town is to the right.

The girls are looking into a "chapel"

Behind me a Romanesque church, down the road to the left a good resto, albergue not far away...
 
I'm useless here, never having been on the Norte...but thank you for sharing these pics, @AJ--that's quite the tree!
 
Looks like there are no takers. I'll leave it a couple of hours, then reveal all.

Final clues: the albergue is quite big and has a lawn; the resto is called Restaurante Galicia

Well, I found it but can't really claim to have really guessed it. Baamonde-Begonte.
So...Wildcard!
And on Google Earth, I thought what was most interesting was not the tree or the church but the banner on the right. Very telling.
So @AJ--what's the story here about the tree and what it has clearly overgrown?

From a camino website:

“By the parish church of Santiago, a 12th-century Romanesque church, there are three 18th-century “cruceiros” and a chestnut tree estimated to be 500 years old. Inside it, you can see the shrine for the Virgen del Carmen carved by the local sculptor Victor Corral.

And a photo of the plaque fixed to the tree.

I can't take any credit. It was Google, not me.
Anyone else notice this? Where?

Yes. Hint. It's in a town where there was once a hospice/hospital for foreigners...specific foreigners.

Sure did. It's been there for years. I probably have a photo but don't want to get diverted looking for it.

By the way, what do you guys do to identify these with google? Is there an image recognition or something like that?
 
And the village is...?
(I try to use my memory. But when I haven't been someplace that's a bit hard. To find the last one I googled the name of the restaurant that AJ gave, found the place, went to Google maps street view and found the tree in less than 2 minutes. Without the name? Nope, impossible.
But you should ask @Rick of Rick and Peg. He seems to be the master.)

There can be image recognition for some photos, e.g. my photos of Castro U, Santillana and Eunate and not for others. Right click on the photo and check the options.

Ahhh! I see that option on the photos posted on the forum. How do I do it with another photo on my computer? What should I open the file in, before I right click on it?

Looks familiar to me, too. I think it was a little picnic area with several tables. Can't remember where that was. Still looking

That is a safe bet!

It was a rest area after a few hours walking on a nice dirt path through vineyards, approaching a very nice town with an excellent restaurant. I didn't eat there although it had Cuban music that evening, because the music didn't start until 11:00 pm or so!

Restaurante Italiano Gambrinus in Santiago de Compostela
 
I love patterns - it was the fencing design that I remembered and the (fenced off) fountain. Street View in Google Maps found the restaurant although I do remember it.

Just the town will do for this one and it's visible on Google Maps!

I never noticed that, @Wokabaut_Meri
The penance for not being mindful will probably be to walk again...oh, dear....what a pity.

And, @C clearly, you threw me off, saying it was your favorite day's walk; from Ponferrada to Cacabelos is one of my least favorite stretches so I never considered it! Ha ha haaaa!

There's a few of these along a wall yet the other side of the street is ordinary suburban. The garden is just before a bridge where the Camino then takes you past an old Romanesque building.
 
hmmm... seems like another clue is called for...

here's the Google Maps screenshot (with street name removed )

Actually you are absolutely right about the first half! I was just remembering the part after you cross the highway at Camponaraya, until you get to that rest stop!
 
indeed, @C clearly--the part going through the vineyards and across the little stream...That was nice!
@Wokabaut_Meri...uhhh...guessing...Melide?
(Did I really walk past that without noticing? More than once? Hahahaha...)
 
Wayyy before Melide... the town is named for a legend... and you need to ensure that you have supplies for the next stretch

So... here I was thinking that this would be easy Even went back through my notes to ensure that I was actually in the Camino ...another clue... the town is named for a legend involving El Cid's daughters.
 
Yes, I think it is Carrion - just before you cross the bridge towards San Zoillo.

If I'm right I'm very happy to give the 'win' to @Kanga--after all, her answer's much mote specific and she obviously really knows where this is. I'm just guessing based on your clues.
I've been by it more than once but must have been in a meditative trance. (Or more likely simply woolgathering.......)
 
Carrión de los Condes it is. I was starting to think that I'd taken a wrong turn
(Been out buying new hiking boots for hubby )

OK. Probably too easy, but at least it won't be on Google earth.

 
One useful thing I'm learning from this game is that I don't pay much attention to my surroundings when I'm inside. That could be anywhere as far as my memory goes.
Some paroquial albergue along the way as as close as I get.
 
A few clues. It is on the Frances. It was renovated only a couple of years ago. Yes, it is a paroquial albergue. It has got adobe walls.

...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
And if no-one gets it before I go to bed (shortly) I shall give a few more clues.
 
No-one has answered - another clue - there is a communal meal at night and everyone is invited to tell a story or sing a song from their country. Adobe walls inside - so on the meseta.

It does seem to me this thread is getting too long and unwieldy - I had scroll pages to get to the end. Lets finish the game and if there is interest start a new thread - with a slightly different title.

@SYates is right - it is the albergue in Bercianos. I stayed there after seeing you this year, Rebekah.

This thread is now very long Sy. It takes ages to scroll down through it, perhaps if you want to continue the game it is time to start a new one.
