I think here I can use awesome. It is not a word I usually find a use for in everyday life. Yet it is not quite the correct word. Maybe more pertinent: why? Why the mask?

Corcubión
December 8, 2011
After descending to Cée and crossing to Corcubión, then turning west, following a creek and some very muddy lanes I finally arrived at the pleasant hilltop albergue San Roque de Corcubión. In a repurposed school this was a very friendly place run by local volunteers.

Praia de Estorde
photo taken April 2, 2006
Estorde is the first beach on the camino path linking Corcubión/San Roque to Finisterre; along the sea the path parallels the AC-445 route. Cape Finisterre is on the far left in the view. Crossing the beach barefoot while holding my boots like a child I delighted in the tickle of sand between my toes.

Today, Jeuves Santo, I have been rememberiing the 12th c. Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro in Estella. Years past each time I was in Estella the complex was closed to visitors and I never was able to see the interior.
However 48 photographic files on the monument are held by Wikipedia Commons ; thus now I have been able to see this splendid interior photo.
The photo is described by Wikipedia as
"El tímpano de la portada se divide en tres niveles. En el inferior se representa "La Última Cena", en la superior "La crucifixión", mientras que el central presenta tres escenas: a la izquierda "Las tres Marías junto al sepulcro", en la central "El rescate de los inocentes" y a la derecha el "Noli me tangere" "
Such an image seems most appropriate for viewing today on Jueves Santo/Holy Thursday.

Entering Santiago from the VdlP/Invierno. Some say it is the nicest entry into the city, and I would agree that it is beautiful, but definitely not the easiest entry. After descending to the Rio Sar there is a long steep climb back up to the cathedral which wore me out!

This print depicts Charlemagne mounted finding Rodan/Roland dead August 778 near Roncesvalles on what will be later known as the Valcarlos route. Eventually the village Valcarlos/Luzaide would also be named in honor of Carlos ie. Charlemagne.

Snow and sleet, sometimes heavy with a strong wind most of the day.

the source of this map is the
Napoleon series
The present Napoleon route OVER the Pyrenees mountains to Roncesvalles dates from the French battles of 1813; when it was actually named the Napoleon route I do not know.
Although Napoleon Bonaparte never was on this route French troops fought at the
Battle of Roncesvalles 25 July, 1813, against the British led by General Wellington in one of the many campaigns of the 1808/1814 Peninsular war also known as La Francesada.
For detailed information re the Battle of Roncesvalles see Martin Gibson's encyclopedic blog War and Security

Estaing to Espeyrac, 21st, April, 2024, Day 9, Via Podiensis. First half of today’s walk to Campuac on the GR 6 option was constantly up and up with only the occasional descent, the second part was quite peaceful and gentler. We saw no other pilgrims today until we were nearly at Espeyrac, the rest must have gone by Golinhac.

Espeyrac to Conques. A shorter day for our Day 10 of walking the Via Podiensis, 22nd, April, 2024, but it still had a challenging ascent early and descent into Conques.
Conques is a beautiful village and luckily at this time of year doesn’t have too many tourists, probably more pilgrims than tourists around and not too busy.
We stayed at the Abbaye, which is comfortable and had a very good dinner last evening. We also went to the Abbaye Church for Compline, Pilgrims blessing, description of the Tympanum and a concert all after 20.30hrs. Not in bed until after 22.30hrs!
Luckily we’re having a rest day today 23rd April in Conques, so we can get to bed earlier tonight in preparation of tomorrow’s walk.
Sorry, two photos of the Abbaye de Sainte-Foy.
