El Camino

La cueva de Lourdes?

Spain has plenty of superstitions mixed in with religion. Tonight, our first stop on the train is dinner in the walled fishing village of Viveiro.

It has it's very own version of the cave at Lourdes.

So successful has the healing been that pilgrims can no longer leave behind their wheel chairs and crutches and instead must buy a wax icon (leg, arm, torso, head etc.) from the convent and tie it to the cave.
