Yes, I know what you mean. In a bizarre kind of a way I don't mind seeing them. They are almost Majestic. I must learn more about them. I always wonder why some are not operating or working slower that others. And the 'Whooshing' noise as you walk under them is interesting. Staying on one place last year I could here them whooshing on the other side of a valley about 1,500 metres away! Must have been the wind direction.
The weather came in while I was on my way up Monte Faro, so much so I could hardly see the chapel and only saw one of the wind turbines ...but I could certainly hear them all. The wind was very strong too. I came across a small rustic looking bar a few kilometres from Rodeiro filled with local men enjoying a lunch break and I joined them for a most welcome hot drink and plate of charcoal grilled lamb chops - they were the best ever 😂
None at all. Sorry. Not great news for those that really need it of course. Though I can't help but think, that once Pilgrim numbers increase and luggage transport becomes viable the character of the route will change dramatically. Can you travel with a really light pack? I was down to about 8kg incl food and water on this route which is nothing at all really.
Were the camino markers still all knocked over (or for the one at the top of Mt Faro, smashed) on the mountain? After seeing a bunch in a row it stopped seeming like an accident. I don't know the story to that though, I tried to look it up.
Also the site at the top of Mt. Faro is an ancient pagan pilgrimmage site, did you notice the outdoor altar that's there is still very much in use? Lots of lit candles and flowers.
@@robscamino I wonder if they put them back up. When were you there? I walked in June 2023. And they were ALL down from the top to the bottom. I tried to put one back up but it was HEAVY, so it wasn't wind.
