26/06/2006 today's stage shows equally busy as a landscape and location. The "horreos" (see photo), the typical silo-like capitals, used for storing corn, now we find them everywhere. The path is constant ups and downs of hills, through woods of oak, alternating with forests of eucalyptus, ruiscelletti of water fords and places to "Elves" are not lacking. Much to my delight, after that day I said to myself this is the right habitat for fungi, there appears to the side of the path a pair of fragrant porcini. The first thought was to make us a pasta in the evening, but the uncertainty about where we stayed, I did tend to leave them on the wall of the entrance to a house found after two kilometers. (.. A bit of "providence" for the locals!)
Ribadiso all'albergue Once in, the kind ospitalera Paula told us that it was already full, the proposed alternative was to sleep on the floor or move to a house private. Chose the second solution, we were taken by car outside route to a farm with 100 head of cattle;
the house is pretty new and clean, with 28 € of Bagmati has a bedroom with very large and airy, with views over the surrounding countryside, including dinner and breakfast. In the evening the owner showed us his company, explaining the entire chain of production of milk of his cows: Hear, hear a liter of milk in Spain costs € 0.50 - 0.75, against € 1:10 to 1:30 (people meditate!)

It works and it is also produced to improve our social status, for career, to feel gratified, to show off their status symbol, no matter how someone might join him. The media, daily, direct our minds towards the redundant messages with more pounding and we do not realize the emptiness of these messages. The absorption, no longer react as the conditioning is complete.
only after at least 10 days of Spartan life, I realized how many things which until yesterday was essential, even today feel the need.
The world of "pilgrim" revolves around its own backpack, and the hostel, no cars, no television, no fancy clothes, no meetings of unnecessary work, no homes full of everything you've ever used and probably never will use. Only the essentials to live as humans and be accepted by others. (Read soap and clothes) and a lot of time to grasp the beautiful world around you: nature and people.
people with whom you can have a relationship not cold and quick, but deep and intense because the availability of time eliminates the tension and brings out the humanity in every one us.
recommend to those who have children to make the experience of the Camino de Santiago: a family if the children are small, if you already older, alone or in company of a few selected friends.
learn what it is really necessary and would know clearly distinguished from the surplus, while enjoying it and this is essential for me in this world where everything seems to be due.
