A much-needed reference and guidebook for the Camino de Madrid. --- BASIC FACTS: 1. The Camino de Madrid starts at the Church of Santiago y San Juan Bautista in Madrid and ends in Sahagún. 2. It is officially 320 kilometres long, depending on the detours you make and number of times you get lost (or 676 kilometres if you continue to Santiago de Compostela). 3. It is usually walked in 13 stages, the ones proposed in this handbook. 4. It passes through four provinces (Madrid, Segovia, Valladolid and León); one that you will cross completely, south to north (Valladolid). 5. It passes over the highest point on any of the Caminos in Spain: the Fuenfría Mountain Pass at 1,796 metres. 6. It passes by five castles that are not in ruins (Manzanares el Real, Segovia, Coca, Simancas and Grajal de Campos). I like castles. 7. It passes by some of the finest examples of Mudéjar (Muslim artists and architects working for Christians in the Middle-Ages) architecture in Spain. 8. There are fully equipped pilgrim albergues that are open throughout the year. 9. It is well marked, with enough Camino signage to get you safely to Sahagún. 10. An estimated 2,000 pilgrims walked the Camino de Madrid in 2019. --- USING THIS HANDBOOK: This handbook is divided into 13 chapters, each chapter number corresponding to the suggested stage. There is also an introductory chapter describing Madrid and a final chapter describing Sahagún. The Numbered-Stage Chapters are organised as follows: 1) A map of the stage presenting the route and towns. Distances between towns are shown. 2) A topographic profile describing the elevation gains and losses on the stage. 3) A general description of the stage, the trail, the towns and highlights.4 ) A section describing route alternatives and options. 5) A section describing tricky and/or problematic sections. 6) A section describing the different places you will walk through such as their pilgrim services, monuments and other curiosities. 7) A final section providing information about the available pilgrim albergues for that stage.8)Each stage also includes a descriptive photo of the stage and, when necessary, a schematic town map. Buen Camino!

Pilgrimage, as a global activity linked to the sacred, speaks to the special significance of persons, places and events. This book relates these sentiments to the curatorship of the Camino de Santiago that comprises a lattice of European pilgrimage itineraries converging at Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain. The detailed analysis focuses on the management of pilgrimage settings as heritage and tourism linked to the shrine of Saint James and gives particular attention to investment guidelines, land use planning regulations, environmental stewardship, information dissemination and museology.

He was sent from Spain on a religious crusade to Mexico to “detect the sickness of idolatry,” but Bernardino de Sahagún (c. 1499-1590) instead became the first anthropologist of the New World. The Franciscan monk developed a deep appreciation for Aztec culture and the Nahuatl language. In this biography, Miguel León-Portilla presents the life story of a fascinating man who came to Mexico intent on changing the traditions and cultures he encountered but instead ended up working to preserve them, even at the cost of persecution. Sahagún was responsible for documenting numerous ancient texts and other native testimonies. He persevered in his efforts to study the native Aztecs until he had developed his own research methodology, becoming a pioneer of anthropology. Sahagún formed a school of Nahua scribes and labored with them for more than sixty years to transcribe the pre-conquest language and culture of the Nahuas. His rich legacy, our most comprehensive account of the Aztecs, is contained in his Primeros Memoriales (1561) and Historia General de las Cosas de Nueva España (1577). Near the end of his life at age 91, Sahagún became so protective of the Aztecs that when he died, his former Indian students and many others felt deeply affected. Translated into English by Mauricio J. Mixco, León-Portilla’s absorbing account presents Sahagún as a complex individual–a man of his times yet a pioneer in many ways.

The setting of this volume is the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages, where Christianity and Islam co-existed side by side as the official religions of Muslim al-Andalus on the one hand, and the Christian kingdoms in the north of the peninsula on the other. Its purpose is to examine the meaning of the word 'Mozarab' and the history and nature of the people called by that name; it represents a synthesis of the author's many years of research and publication in this field. Richard Hitchcock first sets out to explain what being a non-Muslim meant in al-Andalus, both in the higher echelons of society and at a humbler level. The terms used by Arab chroniclers, when examined carefully, suggest a lesser preoccupation with purely religious values than hitherto appreciated. Mozarabism in León and Toledo, two notably distinct phenomena, are then considered at length, and there are two chapters exploring the issues that arose, firstly when Mozarabs were relocated in twelfth-century Aragón, and secondly, in sixteenth-century Toledo, when they were striving to retain their identity.
