After five months, I have, at last, got round to sorting my Camino photos, trying to make a slide show so that my friends don't have to wade through everything. I've got as far as Astorga and would really like to know the name of this church. I've searched on the web, but no success yet. Any helpers?IMG_20201026_092954.jpg

There's a lot of information about this modern church San Pedro de Rectivia in Astorga on a website with the title http://www.rectivia.org. As soon as I saw your photo, @Sue127, I remembered this church and that we turned left to walk past it and that there was something I photographed or looked at on this left side. I had forgotten about it all. I now see that it must have been the labyrinth or puzzle of letters, and there is information about it here: http://www.rectivia.org/p1a3-27.html
