Beautiful day for a walk down the mountain. A bit slippery, but manageable.
On the way I passed through Liñares to see the 8thC parish church of San Esteban (photos, door into altar and church with low wall around)
Wasn’t able to find any church having Mass so I did devotions in the cathedral of creation. (RW Emerson would be proud)
Just before T, there’s an ancient stretch of Camino through Fillibal with narrow streets, granite buildings, and a marvelous tree (see photos).
The other church photograph is of T’s 18thC parish dedicated to Santiago (check out the 3 castles carved on the tower).
Nearby are ancient limestone quarries. Bygone pilgrims used to take as many stones as they could carry and deliver them to kilns a few cities away to help build Santiago’s cathedral. Pretty amazing.
