September 22


Yesterdayj, by chance - do I believe in coincidence? - I was arriving in San Juan de Ortega, thinking I would go on a
Bit further, but feeling tired, I saw four musicians arriving, cello, violin, flute and keyboard.  I asked them if there was a concert?  They said they were playing at a wedding inside the church in about an hour and that I would be  welcome to listen.  
I checked into the alberque and had a bite, then sat in the 11 th century stone church.  Their music was sublime- Bach, Handel, Ave Maria - the keyboard player was played by a soprano - interesting to watch the wedding from the side aisle;  the bride and groom arrived hand in hand.  Spanish women seem to have a great sense of style.
