A little lighter story. My wife and I walked the CF in 2017 as a pilgrimage. We are Catholic and went to every possible pilgrim Mass. For me two of the highlights of the trip were being asked to read at the service in Rabanal and at the English... -

Thank you.
This was my husband. So many thanks to all of my fellow pilgrims who stopped to help and to pray and to translate for me. He was doing what he loved. Thank you for the news article link. -
Yes. Burgos was the main hub of wool exports from Spain, contolled by a merchant guild centred there. I don't have access to all the journals with papers about this, but here's the abstract of one...

I've been wondering whether this is indeed the purpose of the thread: "How does it make you feel when viewing these 'ornate religious structures'", and not a discussion of medieval economics and the finance plans and fund raising for the...
