Camino Photo of the Day: Manjarín

This is, more or less, the entire village of Manjarín. If Foncebadón was mostly in ruins, Manjarín takes that one step farther. This “building” is the only one still standing in the village. It is an eclectic albergue operated by hippies. The folks you see in the orange jackets are Guardia Civil, the Spanish national police force. Because of the flooding that accompanied the “hundred year rains” that northern Spain was experiencing, they had been deployed all along this stretch of the Camino to safeguard and, if necessary, rescue pilgrims. We saw quite a bit of them for several days.
