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
