Anton Pombo Camino conference in Denver - March 13, 2024

[peregrina2000]

Antón Pombo, whose articles many have probably read on Gronze’s website, will be speaking at Regis University, a Jesuit university in Denver. Free and open to the public. It’s part of a four day camino conference!

Pombo is a “camino purist”, so I expect his comments will be very interesting and maybe a bit provocative.

I've always found Anton's articles are interesting. Certainly provocative at times. I read them using Google Translate and while it does a good job with most Spanish texts it sometimes struggles with Anton's rather flowery rhetoric. Would be interesting to hear him speak in person but Denver might be a tad too far to go!

Dang, so close to us in Laramie, but we'll be traveling to visit my parents in Missouri that week!

Thank you for giving me attention to Antón Pombo: I really like his articles and attitude re the Camino(s).

I saw Anton in the street in Arzua the last time I walked through there. He was very hard to miss!

I know Anton pretty well, (we serve together on the board of FICS) and admire him greatly. He grew up hosting pilgrims, his mom was herself a "camino angel" with a little hotel on the way to Finisterre... Anton's one of the people who painted yellow arrows with Don Elias Valina; as a historian he helped ID and codify and then waymark the Camino to Finisterre, and then the (original) Camino Portuguese. He wrote and updates the best-selling Spanish Camino guides for Editorial Everest, he's a founder of AGACS, the Galician Camino Amigos group that runs Albergue Herbon. If all this stuff adds up to "camino purist," than sign me up. He's the real deal.

"camino purist,"

I did not say that in disparagement!

I wish there was an online option for this conference.
Denver is a wee bit too far atm.
