Go to : www.caminoasantiago.com <BR>
hunt around the archives, or past "journals", or whatever and you'll find a surprisingly good narrative of the part of the Primitive Way in Galicia.<BR>
Primitive, in the Spanish contextual sense, means "the first". And, in fact, that way was the first one.... the one that St. Francis walked. It goes through the Monasteiro des monxes de Sobrado, which is a place that makes your heart stop beating.<BR>
In Geothe's Faust, the scholar-philosopher Faust promises Mephisto, the devil, his soul if Mephisto will show him a place, or a delight, that will make him, Faust, tell time and life: "stop, I want to stay here forever". The Sobrados monastery is such a place... and it is in the Camino Primitivo.<BR>
If you cannot find the narrative in the above site, send an e-mail to its author (who understands English) to: carlosacaminoasantiago.com I'm sure he'll forward it to you.<BR>
