    The german pilgrim's cross

    The German Pilgrim's Cross (Article by José Ignacio Díaz, former priest of Grañón) The albergue of Grañón is a place of welcome and mercy. This round phrase can be seen as a simple declaration of intent that looks good in an information brochure or in a review about what the pilgrim can tell...

    That golden thread (Sistole and diastole in pre.covid Castile)

    That self-confidence of Valladolid women, that exactness in diction, pristine as a morning light, always ready to tell you about Doña Urraca and Alfonso VII, and at the same time vigorously simple, that you ask them to make you an omelette scramble because you're going on the way to Tamariz and...

    Is the camino a ritual for all spanish people?

    . - Until the 90's the pilgrimage was a "lost ritual" for most of european people - spaniards included-. - It's difficult to find a common "ritual" for all the iberian penninsula: the traditional cultures were more local (valleys, provinces and regions). Of course things like Catholicism...

    Resonance

    . Of course, I agree with you about "not buy the materialistic game". I wrote "almost imposible" with my mind on the cacophony and speed of the urban life... For H.Rosa (or for Jung) the speed is specially dangerous, and that's why the slow walking becomes so pertinent: mind, body...

    Resonance

    . Two summers ago I walked from Roncesvalles to Rome (well, from LePuy en Velay to St Michel de Maurienne I took the Blablacar service). The pilgrimage was a wonderful box for my interiority to resonate in that open space of the European noon. I remember going through the Aubrac plateau...

    The Fifteenth Letter of the Spanish Alphabet

    . The University of Seattle has a very active department of Sephardic culture - a lot of jews from Salonica went to USA around IIWW. The sephardic diaspora was also important in Netherlands (Spinoza...), England (Montefiore, Mendoza...) or Italy (the Bible of Ferrara...). There are beautifull...

    Chickpea stew and the Spanish Inquisition

    The complete "cocido madrileño" uses beef, chicken, pork's bacon and chorizo and morcilla ( well, and the bones of all those poor animals)... and all them are called "los sacramentos"

    Chickpea stew and the Spanish Inquisition

    As I watch the video it seems that the recipee is very close to the "cocido madrileño", the most popular meal in Madrid until today. In north Spain - I´m from basque country - traditionally the chickpea was less usual and was used as a special "cocido"s of Sunday. Clearly judeo.arabic are the...
