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 ornament type reproductions all along many different caminos).
Various camino associatios are raising an alarm, that the statue is at risk of serious harm. Here’s hoping the authorities will take action to preserve this irreplaceable piece of art.
