Baroque Pulpit

Holy Trinity Altar
Exquisite in any sense of the word. I have posted some of your pics in TB's "Cathedrals, grand churches, mosques & places of worship" thread in the Photography Forum. Check 'em out. I wonder what treasures the other Baroque wooden churches reveal. A wonderful quirk of history that they have survived the wars of destruction throughout history that have plagued this part of Europe.

Holy Trinity Ceiling

Holy Trinity Ceiling
This looks as if it is embroidery rather than painted. Could this be so? Beautiful in either respect.

Food Photos
I live taking pictures of food, too. Food, after all, is an important part of a region's culture and traditions. The egg dish in Santiago de Compostela was something like a mixed grill or hash with a fired egg on top. A meal in itself, not just a tapas!

Camino de Santiago...
The Camino Frances is one of many routes to Santiago de Compostela...the one with the best logistics and with more people for those of us who are extroverts! While you can start anywhere (like your front door), most long distance walkers start in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, France, or if they want to avoid the very difficult walk over the Pyrenees, start in Pamplona (where I started).

Camino de Santiago
Did you make it to Santiago de Compostela? I learned on this trip that there are several route of the Camino de Santiago. The route in Portugal was pointed out. It was once very long, as in 2019 we saw makers for it in Germany.
