Blessed with another sunny day. Longish walk, only saw three other pilgrims who were traveling together.
Had to rush a bit to make it in time to tour the Cathedral (photos: exterior and main altar) and Gaudí’s Palacio Episcopal (photos: exterior, castle looking building with cathedral in background; interior, chapel with paintings on both walls). Both were amazing and worth the hustle.
A is an amazing, historic town perched on a steep ridge.
Today’s walk was ripe with breathtaking vistas. But photos don’t capture it. I was also briefly stopped by a shepherd and his flock (see photo), which is just about the coolest thing that could’ve happened!
I love spending time in cities with lots to do and tour and eat. But I’m always eager to move away from them when the time comes so that I can ramble and pray while walking and resting and nibbling. So much of what I’m seeing is majestic. But it’s the Way that pulls my heart strings. St Augustine has something smart to say about this tension but I can’t remember the quote and I’m too lazy to look for it right now.
