Words and Wilbur

In Torres del Rio a Templar octagonal shaped church provides an opportunity for stamping peregrinos credencials authorising the compostela award in Santiago. The signing in book has a special message of love from a fellow pilgrim, an unexpected message, a message to honour baby Wilbur. Baby Wilbur failed to make it into our earthly world and scarves we wear on our journey are in honour him.

The Templar church was part of the Templar Order of Knights established to facilitate the Christian pilgrimages to Jerusalem. It is associated with similar churches in Segovia, north of Madrid.

Viana, a mediaeval walled town on the border of La Rioja with views of Logroño and mountain ranges beyond. Plaza de los fueros named after former county codes of law called 'fueros'
