Those in the know
Have Brierley in tow.
John Brierley is the author of the English speaking Bible for the Camino, A Pilgrim’s Guide to the Camino de Santiago, How refreshing it was to use a variant Brierley did not promote. Without his endorsement, there were only a couple other pilgrims along the well marked way from Olveiroa to Muxia. The cafés lacked the imprint of heavy pilgrim traffic.

Santiago Parador offers complementary breakfast, lunch, and dinner to the first ten pilgrims. By chance, I was at the right place at the right time.
We were whisked through the reception area to the kitchen where waiters and cooks ignored us. Curtly we were finally given trays of coffee and burned breakfast pastries to be taken to a “Pilgrim” dining room far removed from the Parador guests and working staff. The arrangement lacked dignity.
If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
