I thought you all would find this post from another forum as amusing as I did:

I remember watching an HGTV international show where the American male was looking for an apt. in Spain. The show started out saying it was very important to him that his home be near topless bars. He discussed how he liked to hang out with friends there. Every home he looked at was too far from the topless bars or not close enough to his favorite topless bar. It was topless bars this, topless bars that... It got to the point where I became angry at HGTV. This is a family show! The guy was over obsessed with topless bars bordering on obscene and who knew Spain was so big on them! I went to the HGTV website to find an email to send a complaint. Before I sent it, I watched the show again, but with subtitles.. Tapas bars not topless bars!

Oh.

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Well, on that line of thought, there are supposedly at least two "puticlubs," aka "brothels" that cater to pilgrim needs and even provide a sello! One's in Logrono, the other outside Leon. Sorry, I don't have more specifics!

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
