    Thank you! I will certainly visit some of these places whenever I can walk the pilgrimage. I am now intrigued with Spanish organs. Didn't know anything before my post. Except for a bamboo organ i played in the Philippines built by Spanish folk in the 19th C.

    Pipe organs

    I am a musician and would love to play the occasional pipe organ in one of the many churches along the way. Has anyone heard pipe organs being played, and if so where? Any other organists out there who have played organs along the pilgrim route? I hope to walk in October 2021 or May 2022.
