    Muxia, an anticlimax

    27 Mei 2021, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    Whenever I meet Spaniards, they tell me I have to go to Muxia and see the "Nossa signora da baxa", a chapel dedicated to the protection of boats and sailors, built on rocks overlooking the sea with many boat models in the church.
    As with 99% of the churches on this camino it was barred and locked!
    1n 2018 I once asked a Priest in Spain why all the churches were locked, the answer was to stop stealing. My answer was, then put the things in a museum! What good is a church that does everything to keep people out. This is a place for reflection and quiet and needs to be accessible at all times. Interestingly enough, in France 90% of the churches were open at all times and were a place I often went to to meditate.
