NEW YORK, NEW YORK For centuries, pilgrims traveling the Camino de Santiago have enjoyed and enriched the cultural legacy of Spain's largest geographical region, Castilla y León. In addition to multimedia explorations of the Aqueduct of Segovia, La Colegiata de Toro, and La Cartuja de Miraflores, this celebration of the major monuments of Castilla y León features a replica of the famed figure of Santiago el Mayor (St. James the Greater), originally sculpted by Gil de Siloé for the Tomb of the Juan II of Castile and Isabel of Portugal at La Cartuja de Miraflores, and now a part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The World Monuments Fund is proud, on the occasion of the 2010 Holy Year of St. James, to unveil this important work at Queen Sofía Spanish Institute. Presented in cooperation with the Junta de Castilla y León, World Monuments Fund and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

MENDOCINO, CALIFORNIA Follow watercolor artist Eva Stramer Nichols on her pilgrimage walk from St.-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago in the fall of 2009. Enjoy her sketches, paintings and photos from her journey. On foot over the Pyrenees and across northern Spain through beautiful landscapes, forlorn villages and spectacular ancient cities. She has been in more churches, monasteries and cathedrals than she can count, and met wonderful, interesting people from all over the world along the way. She has slept in bunk beds and on floors, been bitten by bedbugs and lulled to sleep by snoring pilgrims, and awoken by church bells. Come along on her journey, and enjoy the stories!
