Charlie: On the third night we stayed at the hotel Akerreta. The owner told us that they had filmed part of “The Way” there. It was the part where Martin Sheen met the Canadian woman on the patio and, the next morning, saw the man practicing bull fighting with a tablecloth from the balcony.
We were hoping to see places from the movie as we walked the Camino so this was exciting.
He said they had about 100 people and several trucks and the people were all very nice. Martin Sheen and his wife wanted to stay there but the whole hotel was full of lights and equipment so they couldn’t.
We’re still looking for the bridge where Martin Sheen lost his backpack in the river.
