    Sevilla’s cathedral in the news

    This is (IMO at least) a very interesting article about the unusual carvings of plates of food in Sevilla’s cathedral. I confess I haven’t spent enough time in that cathedral to have noticed it, but it looks like a must-see for my next Vdlp, whenever that may be...

    Oldest known statute of Santiago the pilgrim, in danger

    If you have walked the Camino Sanabrés you have probably gone to visit the Romanesque church in Santa Marta de Tera. It is lovely inside, but the showstopper is outside — the oldest known carving of Santiago as a pilgrim. (Even if you haven’t seen the original, you have undoubtedly seen lawn...

    Italica

    I'm planning to start out from Sevilla on Monday, February 11, 2019. Since the walk to Guillena is fairly short, there would be time to stop and see the ruins of Italica, but they are closed on Mondays. For those who've done this, is it worth waiting one extra day in Sevilla in order to pass...

    Is it worth taking a bus to Italica?

    Knowing we are almost certainly going to have to bus a section when Grandpa joins us, I am not feeling too particular about having to walk every step of the way. With this in mind I'm wondering whether it would be prudent to take a bus to Santiponce and have all day to explore the ruins, and...

    Romanesque church near Zamora

    Last year when I was unsuccessfully trying to heal my heel so I could continue walking on the Vdlp, I spent a few days exploring Zamora. I remember seeing a few posters of what looked like an incredible romanesque church/monastery (not sure), located 20-something km from the city. I haven't...
