Camino Day No. 7

Camino Day No. 7 - Tuesday

Torres del Rio to Negroño

Today Kms: 20
Todate Kms: 166
To Go Kms: 699

Walkers: Mel &  Phil

A shorter walk today.
My legs & feet were grateful!!

"I am The Way"
St John Chapter 14 Verse 6

As Alastair Campbell famously said:
We don't do Religion.

& Pilgrim Piper's Blogs don't either!

But when you're out walking 6 to 8 hours for 6 days a week inevitably there is  a Spiritual side to the Way.

Every small village has a church at its centre:


Santa Maria in Sansol
From my hotel room in Torres del Rio

And every town:


Santa Maria in Viana

Where Pope Alexander VI's son Cesare Borgia is buried. Don't Ask !!

Whilst the cities all have magnificent Cathedrals:


Santa Maria la Redonda in Negroño

Wonderful buildings indeed; but you may like to consider GK Chesterton:

Just going to Church doesn't make you a Christian
Anymore than standing in a garage makes you a Car


#BuenCamino, Pilgrim Piper
