Love churches/cathedrals in Spain with their Spanish influence of scallops & Virgin Mary that has permeated into the deserts of Az through Padre Kino & Spanish Missions & Emissaries to Az.
A warm & comforting presence to perrigrino's saying all that wander are not lost.
Muchas gracias for the wonderful pictures Alex! Enjoy your journey.
So sad and sorry that fires prevented your walk. I hope they are soon extinguished and that the heat lets up. Gorgeous shots though! Thank you for sharing. Keep well and healthy.
Unfortunately, a Wildfire is one of these hurdles we hardly hear about. It's one of those events that will stop people in their tracks, but nobody knows for how long. Perhaps there will be a detour soon to continue the Camino trail. I love your photos and journaling. πππΆββοΈ Thank you π
The simple churches and grand cathedrals are wonderful refugesβ¦for some reason I find them enveloping and comforting. Hope the smoke from the wildfires is not too intense for you. Lovely you can pause, write and leisurely explore this colorful historical town.
I am unable to write a comment on your latest posting where you arrived at LogroΓ±o, so am posting here. I find it sad to see the charred hillside as you travel by auto to your next stop. Climate change is real. The reluctance to address it & make the necessary changes by our country is criminal, and the USA is not alone in their refusal to address it. The powers that be seem to think some miracle will happen & it will reverse itself. They are wrong.
I fear you are right. One may debate long and hard on each individual case of a weather extreme, but itβs impossible to deny the worldwide trends. And what I experienced here fits perfectly within that trend
It is interesting that this is noted as a pilgrimage. Do you feel a spiritual inspiration to walk this path? What are you hoping to learn or glean from this journey? Your photos are beautiful. Iβll have to add this place to my list.οΏΌ
Like a beautiful travel brochure beckoning visitors and pilgrims alike.
The photographs are stunning! The wildfires are devastating but at least you had this peaceful interlude in a lovely city.
How great the church you mention provides a hostel for pilgrims. Though I expect itβs not the one in the photos.
I look forward to the next stop and your wonderful photos and stories.
Go in safety and good spirit.
Thanks. Yes that one of the church is not added in the photos
Great pictures! Thank you and stay safe.

Thanks Sharon, I saw churches, and especially bell towers, that suddenly reminded me of Arizona
So glad they remind you of Arizona. Spanish Missions in Az are a little like the Moors with Bell Towers. I am so drawn to the chapels & the light.
Lovely pictures and videos. You did well.

I smelled the fires later in LogroΓ±o but not in Pamplona
Be safe

Indeed, and sadly, they are
Rather clear evidence that we cannot escape the climate crisis.

Thank you Bobbie. That requires a monger answer than I can give right now. I might do that later. Glad you like the pictures
What a picturesque city! Thanks for yet another addition to my incredibly long, short list! Be well and stay safe!
You will enjoy it here π
