Day 2 — Monday, September 13 PORTO, PORTUGAL Welcome to Portugal! Upon arrival, you will be met by our local representative and be transferred to our hotel. Picturesque Porto is much more than just a place of pilgrimage for port wine lovers – although this unique industry is among the many attractions of Portugal's second city. Straddling the River Douro just a few kilometers inland from the Atlantic, Porto, in the country's northwest, is closer to Spanish Galicia than it is to Lisbon. Porto possesses an appealing pan-Iberian atmosphere to complement its many historic charms; the old city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city centre is architecturally fascinating, many of the buildings faced with distinctive blue-patterned Portuguese tiling. Porto's undoubted traditional appeal is balanced by the trappings of a lively modern European city, making it an ideal destination if you're looking for a rich mix of culture. Our historic hotel is in the centre of Porto. Dinner will be served at our hotel. Accommodation: HOTEL NH COLLECTION PORTO BATALHA or similar (3 nights). (D) Day 3 - Tuesday, September 14 PORTO, PORTUGAL Breakfast at our hotel. This morning enjoy your half day tour of Porto which includes wine tasting major sights including the city centre – a UNESCO World Heritage – the Cathedral, São Bento Train Station and the Lello library. Porto is the Capital of North Portugal. It has one of the most remarkable historic centres across Europe. From the Cathedral to the Port Wine cellar, everything makes this journey memorable in an environment rich in history, tradition, and culture. We will end our tour in a Port wine cellar where you will visit and enjoy a wine tasting. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant After the tour and lunch you will return to our hotel. Evening is at your leisure. (B/L) Day 4 — Wednesday, September 15 PORTO, PORTUGAL Breakfast at the hotel. Pick up at the hotel for a full day tour of Duoro Valley with lunch and River cruise. Spend a day in Douro Valley, visiting two beautiful wineries to sample sparkling wine, Port, local wine and ‘vinho verde’ – a young or green wine. Called ‘adegas,’ the Portuguese wine estates are as much of an attraction as the robust wine they produce – steeped in history and surrounded by heart-stopping countryside. Soak up the scenery as well as the wine and enjoy a traditional 3-course lunch. Return back to the hotel late afternoon with evening at your leisure. (B/L) Day 5 - Thursday, September 16 PORTO - SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, SPAIN Breakfast at our hotel. We depart this morning to Santiago de Compostela visiting the city of Vigo en route. Vigo is a good combination of a bay "with which, in many respects, none other in the world can compare" (G. Borrow) and maritime industrial infrastructure (shipyards, canneries, fishing port, etc.) which explains the rapid growth of this city since the end of the 19th Century. Today it is the most populous city of Galicia. It still has the small old sailing quarter of O Berbés. Castrelos Park, surely the most beautiful municipal park in all Galicia, is home of the Quiñones de León Manor Museum, now the city museum. The city of Vigo began its modern development from the last decades of the 19th-century onwards. However, this has not prevented it from being a historic, monumental city such as the Celtic Castro, which was the city's origin, Galicia's largest Roman necropolis, the Romanesque temples and O Castro's mediaeval fortress. The Neo- classical Collegiate of Santa María and the urban centre with its harmonious combination of quiet streets and broad avenues, all deserve a mention. After lunch continue to Santiago de Compostela to our hotel. Santiago de Compostela is the capital of northwest Spain’s Galicia region. It’s known as the culmination of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route, and the alleged burial site of the Biblical apostle St. James. His remains reputedly lie within the Cathedral de Santiago de Compostela, consecrated in 1211, whose elaborately carved stone facades open onto grand plazas within the medieval walls of the old town. Our historic hotel is in the centre of Santiago de Compostela. Accommodation: HOTEL HESPERIA PEREGRINO or similar (2 nights). (B/L) Day 6 – Friday, September 17 SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, SPAIN Breakfast at our hotel. Today you will walk through the narrow streets of Santiago de Compostela. Our tour of the city includes the most important monuments including St. James Cathedral – the city’s crowning glory and considered one of the world’s finest examples of Romanesque architecture. Legend has it that the remains of the apostle St. James were found here, and when he was declared the patron saint of Spain, pilgrims travelled from all over Europe to visit his shrine. This walking tour will lead you through an extraordinary ensemble of distinguished monuments grouped around the tomb of St James the Greater, including charming chapels, magnificent monasteries or splendid urban palaces. With its meandering medieval street plan and aging buildings there is the impression of timelessness in Santiago, each stone reflects the history of the city in perfect harmony. This magical city boasts a wealth of more secular architectural treasures such as the different squares that surrounds the impressive Cathedral. Tonight, dinner will be served at our hotel. (B/D) Day 7 - Saturday, September 18 SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA - OVIEDO, SPAIN Breakfast at our hotel. Morning departure to Oviedo visiting Luarca en-route. Luarca is a truly stunning fishing village on the north-western coast of Asturias. It is easily reached from Lugo (Galicia) and has one of the most attractive harbours in all of Spain. The best way to view Luarca is from the hills above the town, or from the picturesque and multi-tiered cemetery on the slopes above from which you can also look out to the open sea. Luarca's harbour is almost rectangular when viewed from over head and two sides are overlooked by neat terraces of three and four storey buildings. Nearly every harbour facing building in this quaint little town has a white rendered facade and a grey pan tiled roof and this gives Luarca an appearance that, whilst "old world", is still ordered and tidy. After our lunch at a local restaurant, continue to Oviedo to our hotel. Oviedo is a town in northwest Spain between the Cantabrian Mountains and the Bay of Biscay. The capital of Asturias is known for its medieval old town and the site of the Gothic Oviedo Cathedral with its 9th-century Holy Chamber. The Archaeological Museum of Asturias, in a nearby convent, displays regional artifacts. The Fine Arts Museum of Asturias includes 2 palaces and has an expansive Spanish art collection. Accommodation: HOTEL GRAN ESPANIA or similar (2 nights). (B/L) Day 8 – Sunday, September 19 OVIEDO, SPAIN Breakfast at our hotel. This morning we enjoy a walking tour visiting the old pedestrian quarter of Oviedo to see the squares and chigres (cider bars) before we proceed to Leon, capital of the old Spanish Kingdom of Castile, where we visit the town’s main attraction – the Gothic Cathedral with its famous and spectacular stained-glass window. The afternoon is at your leisure. Tonight, our dinner will be served at our hotel. (B/D) Day 9 - Monday, September 20 OVIEDO - SANTANDER, SPAIN Breakfast at our hotel. Depart to Santander visiting Santillana del Mar en-route. Situated on the northern route of the Pilgrim's Road to Santiago de Compostela, Santillana del Mar is a beautiful medieval town which was developed around the collegiate church of Santa María. Its various defence towers and Renaissance palaces make Santillana one of the most important historical areas of Cantabria. The centre of this village, declared a National Monument, continues to contain the collegiate church, considered one of the best examples of Romanesque architecture in Cantabria. Built on the site of a former hermitage in the XII century, you can admire its cloister with magnificent decorated capitals, as well as its interesting façade decorated with sculptures and Panthocrator (a representation of Christ framed in an almond shaped structure).

  • Constructing the Cámara Santa: Architecture, History, and Authority in Medieval Oviedo
    Constructing the Cámara Santa: Architecture, History, and Authority in Medieval Oviedo by Flora Thomas Ward A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Flora Thomas Ward 2014 Constructing the Cámara Santa: Architecture, History, and Authority in Medieval Oviedo Flora Thomas Ward Doctor of Philosophy Department of Art University of Toronto 2014 Abstract My dissertation examines the Cámara Santa of the Cathedral of Oviedo as both a medieval and modern monument, shaped by twelfth-century bishops and twentieth-century restorers. I consider the space as a multi-media ensemble, containing manuscripts, metalwork, and sculpture, arguing that we must view it as a composite—if fragmented—whole. My analysis focuses on the twelfth century, a crucial period during which the structure, decoration, and contents of the Cámara Santa were reworked. A key figure in this story is Bishop Pelayo of Oviedo (d. 1153), who sought to enhance the antiquity and authority of the see of Oviedo by means of the cult of its most important reliquary: the Arca Santa. I argue that this reliquary shapes the form and function of the twelfth-century Cámara Santa, considering the use of the space in the context of liturgy and pilgrimage. Finally, I consider the sculpture that lines the walls of the space, arguing that it animates and embodies the relics contained within the Arca Santa, interacting with the pilgrims and canons who used the space. Thus, this sculpture represents the culmination of the long twelfth-century transformation of the Cámara Santa into a space of pilgrimage focused around the Arca Santa and the memory of the early medieval patrons of the Cathedral of Oviedo, a memory which abides to this day.

Since Monsignor Giulio Ricci first strongly suggested in 1985 that the cloth venerated in Oviedo (Asturias, Northern Spain), known as the Sudarium of Oviedo, and the Shroud of Turin had really been used on the same corpse, the separate study of each cloth has advanced greatly, according to the terminology with which scientific method can approach this hypothesis in this day and age. The paper called "The Sudarium of Oviedo and the Shroud of Turin, two complementary Relics?" was read at the Cagliari Congress on Dating the Shroud in 1990.

The routes from the old Kingdom of Asturias were the first to take the pilgrims to Santiago. The coastal route was as busy as the other, older pilgrims’ ways long before the Spanish monarchs proclaimed the French Way to be the ideal route, and provided a link for the Christian kingdoms in the North of the Iberian Peninsula. This endorsement of the French Way did not, however, bring about the decline of the Asturian and Galician pilgrimage routes, as the stretch of the route from León to Oviedo enjoyed even greater popularity from the late 11th century onwards. The Northern Route is not a local coastal road for the sole use of the Asturians living along the Alfonso II the Chaste. shoreline. This medieval route gave rise to an Liber Testamenctorum (s. XII). internationally renowned current, directing Oviedo Cathedral archives pilgrims towards the sanctuaries of Oviedo and Santiago de Compostela, perhaps not as well- travelled as the the French Way, but certainly bustling with activity until the 18th century.

  • Commonalities Between the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo
    SHS Web of Conferences 15, 00007 (2015) DOI: 10.1051/shsconf/20151500007 C Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2015 Commonalities between the Shroud of Turin and the Sudarium of Oviedo Alfonso Sánchez Hermosilla Medical Examiner, EDICES Director (Spanish Sindonology Researh Centre Team), Spain Abstract. In 1989 EDICES (Spanish Sindonology Research Centre Team) started researching about the Sudarium of Oviedo, developing the pioneer research started in the sixties by Monsignor Giulio Ricci, who was a member of the Papal Curia and President of the “Roman Centre of Sindonology”a, and furthermore, he was a scholar of the Gospel of Saint John, the reading of chapter 20, Bible verses 4-8: “4 They were running together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and was the first to arrive at the tomb.5 Bending down to take a look, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he didn’t go in.6 Following him, Simon Peter entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.7 He also saw the face cloth that had been on Jesus’ head. It wasn’t with the other clothes but was folded up in its own place.8 Then the other disciple, the one who arrived at the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.” This made him look for a second funerary linen used to wrap the corpse of Jesus of Nazareth. This seek led him to the Sudarium of Oviedo. The similarity of the shape of the stains and its size with the Shroud of Turin made him think that he had really found the relic which Saint Joan mentions.

  • Three-Dimensional Interpretation of Sculptural Heritage with Digital and Tangible 3D Printed Replicas
    TOJET: The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology – October 2017, volume 16 issue 4 Three-Dimensional Interpretation of Sculptural Heritage with Digital and Tangible 3D Printed Replicas José Luis SAORIN Universidad de la Laguna, Spain [email protected] Carlos CARBONELL-CARRERA Universidad de la Laguna, Spain [email protected] Jorge de la Torre CANTERO Universidad de la Laguna, Spain [email protected] Cecile MEIER Universidad de la Laguna, Spain [email protected] Drago Diaz ALEMAN Universidad de la Laguna, Spain [email protected] ABSTRACT Spatial interpretation features as a skill to acquire in the educational curricula. The visualization and interpretation of three-dimensional objects in tactile devices and the possibility of digital manufacturing with 3D printers, offers an opportunity to include replicas of sculptures in teaching and, thus, facilitate the 3D interpretation of the sculptural heritage. In this research, an open access 3D educational resource is created for teaching in the aim of Art and drawing subjects. In Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, fifteen students of High School, worked in a traditional 2D environment and in a 3D environment with sculptural heritage replicas in digital and tangible versions. The three-dimensional interpretation of the sculptures is evaluated with a 3D viewing test created for this experiment, to verify whether the material used does indeed facilitate the 3D interpretation. The results show a greater difference using 3D representations compared with the 2D versions in the three ambits analysed. In modularity, the percentage of correct answers in the 3D viewing test are 84% with 3D technologies, versus 40% with 2D representations, in volumetry, 90,7% versus 72%, but in orthogonal views is where the biggest difference is with a 76,7% of correct answers in the 3D viewing test using 3D technologies versus 0% using 2D versions.

  • New Coincidence Between Shroud of Turin and Sudarium of Oviedo

The Sudarium of Oviedo and the Shroud of Turin are two relics attributed to Jesus Christ that show a series of amazing coincidences announced in the past. In this contribution, we describe the X-ray fluorescence analysis carried out on the Sudarium. Among the chemical elements detected, calcium shows a statistically significant higher presence in the areas with bloody stains. This fact allows correlating its distribution with the anatomical features of the corpse. A large excess of calcium is observed close to the tip of the nose. It is atypical to find soil dirt in this zone of the anatomy, but it is just the same zone where a particular presence of dust was found in the Shroud. The very low concentration of strontium traces in the Sudarium matches also well with the type of limestone characteristic of the rock of Calvary in Jerusalem. This new finding adds to others recently released and it strengthens the tradition that both cloths have wrapped the body of Jesus of Nazareth. 1. Introduction According to tradition, the Sudarium of Oviedo is a relic of Christ. In fact, it has been called “Sudario del Señor” (Cloth of the Lord) for centuries.
