Walk and Horreo

Sleeping in a Parador is perhaps not the place to sleep along the Camino de Santiago for a usual pilgrim.
But a traditional horreo, that's an option for the pilgrim living traditonal values, right?

Architect Nacho Gias from Madrid rebuilded four traditional horreos along the camino into luxurious 2 person cabins. (66$ a night)

By the end of 2016 two more are planned.

In the picture

As I'm also a photographer, so.. interested.

This entry brings you some great views on pilgrimage and photography, places of worship, places of wanderlust, solitude, fog and snow...


First is the Hajj pilgrimage, the Hajj to Mecca in pictures on The Guardian.



Michael George walked the Camino the Santiago. He walked the Camino Frances the same months I did. So, there are some mutual memories.



Tim Hall visited Varanasi and Allahabad along the river Ganges.



Hu Guoqing made a series, Passage to the heart,
on Buddhist pilgrims on their way to winter Lhasa.
