    Seeking A Unique Property with home and area with open wall space

    Yes, it is Kyero but it's kyero.com (the .es shows "domain for sale". One would think they'd buy it to redirect to their .com address, but...)

    Priest attacked?

    THREE men attack the 84-year-old priest of Hospital de Orbigo after posing as pilgrims asking for money Last Saturday night, August 14, three individuals entered the parish shelter of Hospital de Orbigo in Leon, posing as pilgrims asking for money, which resulted in the three men attack the...

    COVID-19 is not the only virus

    It's not just NZ, the US is also seeing a dramatic surge in RCV among infants & children as well, and officials are citing the same reason, that social distancing over the last year meant people were not developing immunity. For most people RCV is not life threatening but for infants it can be...

    Ruta de los Santuarios (Liébana - Oviedo)

    Yes! Even better, Lourdes to Liébana to Covadonga to Oviedo to Santiago - the 5 star route that has always held my fancy.

    Charles Trepat - Recital in A Coruña, at the Teatro Colón - Spanish Music Selection No 14

    Thank you so much!! I really love the Capricho Catalán played on that Torres. My heretofore YouTube favorite of that is Jan Depreter's slow, languorous version & he plays it on a Fritz Ober that was based on a Torres so it makes sense this would hit the spot for me too. I just spent an hour or...

    The Camino Forum as an App

    It's much more convenient to have this shortcut on the phone. I suppose it's more like a link than a true app, but it works! Thanks, this is a very handy upgrade!

    Pilgrim stabbed and attacked at knife point after Sacavem, was able to escape

    AB & Yolan, thank you both so very much for sharing your stories so other women thinking of walking the route can take heed. It's bone-chilling & infuriating what happened to you both in the same place years apart & the shockingly indifferent attitude demonstrated by local law enforcement about...

    Portico de la Gloria App

    Thank you!!! That "organistrum" (2 person hurdy-gurdy) is fascinating.

    Portico de la Gloria App

    A tip of the hat to Fundación Barrié which paid for all this, this is wonderful. The section on the instruments played by the 24 elders depicted in the archivolt is especially great - we can hear each of the reproduced instruments being played. My only regret is that, as far as I can tell...

    What is the meaning (if any) of this bas-relief?

    As others have already mentioned, both the anchor & the boat with its cruciform mast were central to Christian iconography in the earliest days of the faith. Even Christian churches were based on ship's architecture (ergo, the "nave"). The roofs were modeled on upturned hulls. And wherever...

    When they finish the restoration of this cathedral, it will look amazing!

    I do too! Stripped down of decorative accoutrements there's nothing to compete visually with the structural elements like the columns & vaults & they can more be appreciated for how elegant they are on their own.

    The cathedral opened up again today, I went for a walk inside

    Thanks so much, Ivar! How wonderful to be able to see this! I even like the minimalist altar. It is only temporary, after all. I'd imagine the restoration workers weren't terribly thrilled to have to start sharing the Cathedral with tourists again, but it really is all coming back to life again...

    A Guitarist NOT on the Camino

    Wow, thanks Tincatinker! That bog oak guitar is something! I still haven't found out yet what guitar he played for Aranjuez but he uses it again to play Asturias (also linked to it on his website):

    A Guitarist NOT on the Camino

    Thank you for this, tincatinker! I wasn't so sure how I'd feel about the non-trad guitar for this piece, but the timbre improved for me when I watched it with higher quality earphones on my laptop instead of my phone. And it was fun to see this performed stripped down in a smaller, more casual...

    While you're not doing anything else ... help locate the pilgrim shelter in The Way

    Yep, Aniello. The satellite photo with the empty lot at 6 Calle la Carrera was taken this year, the Google Street View car last went by way back in 2012, apparently. Are those trees growing out of the roof in the 2012? No wonder the film's producers had to come up with a different location in...

    Convents & Monasteries

    The nuns who run Zabaldika are RSCJ (I'm a product of several of this order's schools for girls but please don't blame the ladies at Zabaldika for how I turned out, none I attended were in Spain 😇) I believe the Albergue's only open April 15- October 15, though I could be wrong. They may...

    Spanish Camino Music – Selection No. 4

    I adore the piece also, and this version's just wonderful! Thank you for the treat, gerardcarey! For years my favorite YouTube version of the adagio features Pablo Sáinz Villegas on guitar. (I believe he's from Logroño, btw) He's appearing with the San Antonio Symphony here in Texas in a...

    Second Opinion Update Anniesantiago

    Great news! Letrozole is in the same class of hormone therapies as what my Mom is on, Anastrozole. Both are aromatase blockers (aromatase is the enzyme involved in estrogen production). I have no clue why one of the two would be indicated for which patients, but I wouldn't fear either now...

    Update on Anniesantiago

    The best thing the doctor said all during the appointment was, "You are NOT going to die from this!" Outstanding news, this is a problem that can be managed & it sounds like you're well on your way to getting a capable & caring team in place to help you do just that. I guess it's too early to...

    Minor Glitch Hopefully - Asking for Prayers

    My mom was diagnosed with exactly that type almost 2 years ago, AnnieSantiago. She has heart issues & wouldn't have been able to have surgery even had she wanted it. But hers was estrogen receptor positive, like yours. She's post-menopausal & so she takes a drug called anastrozole (basically...
