I remember reading earlier in the year, that Emilio Estevez was returning to Spain in the fall to shoot the sequel. I‘m wondering if it happened. Any sightings?

Wow! I saw a guy and I was really sure it was Emilio Estevez. My husband wasn't so sure. It was just before Arzúa when I saw him sitting on a bench having a snack so I asked him if his name was Emilio. He said no, it's Carlos. But that's what a celebrity would say anyway. I'm sure he thought we were stalking him because we saw him several more times at breakfast stops or in towns. He continued on to Fisterra too because we saw him after Santiago de Compostela also. I knew it was him! The photo (only from the back because I didn't want to look like a stalker!) was taken on October 3rd this year.
I really wished I'd asked him for a selfie now.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
On top those sightings Emilio’s son lives in Spain, near Burgos I think. He was the “body in the bag” in the mourge scene in The Way.

Warning--this is from memory from ten years ago. Please feel free to correct me.

I stayed in an albergue of sorts, called El Molino, outside of Hornillos del Camino. The owners, who did not speak any English, picked me and three other pilgrims (who I did not know) up in Hornillos del Camino and drove us 10 kilometers to their establishment.

It was a converted sawmill set in grove of trees. When we walked inside the front door, the walls were covered with family photos, but oddly Martin Sheen randomly appeared in many of them. When we were shown the kitchen, I turned to other pilgrims and said, "Do you recognize this kitchen from The Way?"

They all agreed that the kitchen appeared in the movie. Suddenly the family photos with Martin Sheen in them made sense. He obviously was kind enough to pose with the family.

Embarrassingly, I found out in O 'Cebreiro from a couple who lived in Los Angles that Martin Sheen's grandson had married the daughter of the couple who owned El Molino.

So, the photos that contained Martin Sheen were actually family photos.

I hoped to stay there in 2018, and just turned up. But it was closed.

Your memory is fine.
(I might be helping to derail my own thread here).

Is it featured in the scene where the Joost character takes over the kitchen of an albergue?

(Nerd alert here :))

I could have asked James Nesbitt in September but it turned out not to be in the cards.

Peg and I flew from Belfast to London on The Way home. We had a lovely and talkative companion in the aisle seat of our row. When we landed we were herded onto a bus to take us to the terminal and we were seated near our companion again but not next to her. In the terminal she sort of enthusiasticly* mentions that she was seated behind a famous Irish actor. I asked "Who?". She pointed out a man walking away from us on the other side of a glass wall and said "James Nesbitt". So we got to see the back of his head and if we had shouted out a "Buen Camino" he wouldn't have been able to hear us.

* Part of her excitement was due to her knowing someone who often sees Nesbitt when flying between the isles and this was her first time.

There is an actor strike on now and before a writers strike so that could have slowed things in Hollywood.
Even though now over, your observation would definitely be correct.
