Hi all.
I love to sing and have been practicing the Pilgrims song over the last few weeks. I have the words printed out and have just about got the chant in my head.
Tomorrow I will arrive in Leon and will then walk to Sarria over the next 9 days
Would it be ok to sing in any churches on the way? I obviously will not interrupt any services or celebrations. Should I seek permission first and if so from whom? I do not speak Spanish this this could be a problem!
Or should I just mumble to myself as I walk?
Your advice please.

Do not mumble to yourself as you walk!

Sing loud, clear and beautiful as you walk. You might put joy in the hearts of others who walk.

Churches...play it by ear...if you see someone in charge, ask them. Look up and practice a question about whether it’s ok to sing...I’m sure you’ll figure out whether it’s a yes or a no even without speaking Spanish.

Have fun!

Why not give a full-throated rendition in an albergue around 5am some morning? I'm sure the other pilgrims will appreciate being woken by such a wonderful song and will, as a result, be eager to step out into the day fortified by the ringing tones in their ears.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

What a great idea... that would certainly give me plenty of people to talk to on the way!
 
Paul, If you find an open church, check with others if they would be ok for you to sing... and off you go. I once listened to a pilgrim sing a Jewish lament and nobody moved or made a sound. It was spellbinding. It will be just what someone needs, and it is a great gift to take with you. Weighs nothing, everybody enjoys it, and there is always more...

Feeling a little alone at CF. Where is it most likely that I won't be the only one in the albergue, Villar de Masarif, Villavante, Hospital de Orbigo or Astorga (which is probably too long for me...
