Please excuse my unilateral entry here, but I could not disagree more with
you, Marcia! In the smallest of pueblos there is always something
to see; but what you see does depend on what you expect to see and what
you are open to seeing. Beyond that, there are always people--pilgrims
and especially those who live in the towns--with whom to talk. The
stories that the older residents of the small towns can tell are almost
always fascinating in their contrast to what we norteamericanos regard
as the "normal" way of the world. It is also my experience that we
can learn a lot about ourselves by listening to their impressions of us.
Thank you for the chance to air my point of view! --Carlos

. . . at least among many of the villages in the meseta, there is nothing
to see. There were several nights where I stayed in places that had one
alberque and one place to eat. That's it. Often, even the churches were
locked. Of course, you can always talk to the other pilgrims or read. Have
a great time. Blessings, Marcia</font></font></blockquote>
