Re: Ignacio, famed eccentric woodcarver-Logroño - Najera (25km)

Howard, could this person, Ignacio, be the same one giving out hand-carved
crosses to pilgrims to wear to Santiago?

I was walking through Logrono in early May, on the way out of town, when a
very slight-built, older man drove past, made a U-turn, double-parked his
car on the busy street, ran over to me and hung a large hand-carved wooden
cross around my neck.  He said he'd made it himself and asked me to wear it
to Santiago (which I did, on my backpack)  Could this be the same guy?
