Santiago and a pilgrim diptych

Too many and too often!
I have any number of reasons to be jealous of my friend Johnnie Walker - not least that he now lives for most of the year in Santiago. John has kindly given me permission to share something here. A piece of art commissioned from our own @Harington which he has just received and which now hangs in the stairway of his Santiago home. A large piece in two panels with each panel measuring 100 x 80 cm. Mary has spoken of some of the symbolism involved - including an allusion to church stained glass windows and a deliberate nod towards Michelangelo in the saint's gesture. A dramatic thing to encounter when you come home each day!

I know that quite a number of the members of this forum have personally created artworks inspired by their own Caminos. I wonder how many others feel they have lacked the skills to do justice to their experience and have instead commissioned an artist to make a particular piece? And might they be willing to share what they received?

Could I ask what may be naive question. This will be my 1st Camino and I will be mostly staying in alberques. Could you please explain the bathroom/shower etiquette to me? I have no idea what...
Do i need both these apps? I want to spend as little time my device as possible so if one app will do fine that’s my preference.
Not a very serious topic, but I just realised how ideal it would be to find romance on the Camino. A fellow pilgrim seems like the perfect match: he likes walking, he likes Spain, he does his own...

I did the Norte in 2017. This set off a wild ride of changes in life - shifting many things. I am now at a new plateau and it feels like the right time to do Camino #2, this time the...
