"There remains to be added," writes Sigfried Grän OFM in 'Noah, the Builder of the Ark and Inventor of Viticulture,' "what we omitted above in our summary of the Noah story. Noah not only survives the Flood and, after his rescue, offers a burnt offering to the Creator. He also incidentally becomes the inventor of viticulture. (...) In ancient Israel, the vine was considered the noblest of all plants. To own a vineyard, to enjoy its fruits, and to rest in the peace of its shade was... the epitome of a happy and blessed existence." (Source: "In the Land of the Lord. Franciscan Journal for the Holy Land," Issue 4/2024)

The Great Black Bull: The story of Spain's most iconic billboards dates back to the founding of a Cadiz brandy and sherry winery by an Englishman named Osborne. The bulls originally stood up to 4 meters tall and bore the Osborne name in red letters. The herd grew to 500 before anti-billboard legislation threatened their existence. Following a public outcry, they were removed from the street, the lettering removed, and rebuilt to a height of 14 meters.

On stage 8 of the classic Way of St. James, you start in the morning in Logroño and come straight to this beautiful place at the beginning of the stage: ducks swim on the reservoir and squirrels greet visitors. A truly magical place.

It often happens like this...the destination is so close and yet so far away. The worst thing is when it is not the place you thought it would be, but somewhere else and the path leads past it or even further.
