At the entrance to the venerable Poor Clare monastery stands a baroque holy water font. What's inside? A disinfectant dispenser. No holy water. No blessing. Just hygiene. Do people here still believe in the Real Presence – or just in the bacterial load? The Camino leads not only over mountains, but also through the abysses of liturgical desacralization. #HolyWaterSubstitute #RealPresenceOrEthanol #CaminoSatire #SantaClaraDisinfected

A negative highlight. A little further than this photo, on a stretch of about 1 km, there is a 30 cm wide path that is densely overgrown with woman-high vegetation. Especially with CCHF cases in Spain, this section is a clear warning.
