Podcasts about Roncesvalles

Esta semana, vuelvo a juntarme con Ander e Iñigo, miscompañeros en NafarRandonneurs, para desmigar, con más pausa, todos los detalles del que va a ser el primer brevet que organice nuestro club. Un 200 que sale de Noain, el día 5 de abril y que recorre parte de los valles al norte de Pamplona, llegando casi hasta Roncesvalles, para volver, en sentidocontrario a las agujas del reloj, de nuevo y poco a poco al mismo lugar de salida. No quiero desvelar más detalles antes de la charla, así que dejo que seas tú quien lo vaya descubriendo poco a poco.____Inscripciones: https://www.rockthesport.com/es/evento/brm200-nafarrandonneurs-noainRecorrido: https://www.openrunner.com/es/route-details/20046389Grupo de Telegram: https://t.me/forobrevetcardHotel Ibis Style Noain: https://goo.su/vcUivHotel Zenit: https://goo.su/GjV7tmHotel Holiday Inn: https://goo.su/dOeJyYouTube de Iñigo: https://www.youtube.com/@aitatxo_storiesDescuento en ropa Siroko: ⁠https://srko.co/labrevetcard⁠

El 29 de  mayo de 1610, se publicó en Aragón el decreto por el que Felipe III ordenaba la expulsión de los moriscos, una orden firmada el 18 de abril que se mantuvo en secreto para organizar los preparativos. En total fueron expulsadas de la península unas 350 000 personas, la mayoría de ellas de los reinos de Valencia y de Aragón que fueron los más afectados. De Aragón salieron 60.818 personas por los Alfaques (38.286), Roncesvalles (9.962) y Somport (12.570). De este hecho histórico parte el escritor David Rozas Genzor para construir su nueva novela,  ‘Desterrados: Proyecto Jumbar” una obra que abre una original  saga en la que la historia de mezcla con la ciencia ficción.

In the aftermath of Oct. 7, Canada's broadly left-wing literary community took aim at the Giller Prize, Canada's foremost award for fiction, for its title sponsorship coming from Scotiabank. The financial institution, they have argued, has millions of dollars invested in an Israeli arms dealer—leading to backlash from pro-Palestinian writers who began boycotting the Giller for taking $100,000 as prize money, withdrawing as entrants and judges. The controversy has taken a lengthy, convoluted road since then, involving past winners speaking out critically of the Giller Prize; Elana Rabinovitch—the executive director of the prize and daughter of its founder—taking to traditional and social media to defend her organization's actions; and various half-measures by Scotiabank and Giller that have decreased (but not eliminated) their association with the Middle East conflict. Meanwhile, the competition is still going on, with a winner set to be announced on Nov. 18. With Avi Finegold in Canada this week, he joins his Bonjour Chai co-host, Phoebe Maltz Bovy, in her living room to unpack this mess and discuss whether the criticism is legitimate or yet another example of antisemitism, framing big-money Jews as string-pulling villains. They're joined by Michael Inzlicht, a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto and writer of the newsletter Speak Now Regret Later, who also happens to live in Phoebe's neighbourhood of Roncesvalles. Their community has seen a surge of pro-Palestinian signs in storefront windows over the past year, prompting the question: What do you do when controversial geopolitics come to your local coffee shop?

Leo Baeten liep al in 1996 met een vriend van Sittard naar Santiago. De aanleiding was een vervelende, maar de Camino hielp enorm. En het is natuurlijk sowieso interessant om te horen hoe de Camino er bij lag in die tijd. Een veelzeggend detail: in heel Frankrijk zijn de heren NUL pelgrims tegengekomen. Overigens hebben we in de podcast een aflevering gehad over 2 biologiestudentes die al in 1982 van St Jean Pied de Port naar Santiago zijn gelopen. Die aflevering is gepubliceerd op 30 april 2023.

RE/MAX Canada has released its 2024 RE/MAX Canada Condominium Report. In this video interview, Samantha Villiard, Regional Vice President, RE/MAX Canada, discusses the key findings from the report. PRESS RELEASE TORONTO, Oct. 9, 2024 /CNW/ — Despite fears of leaving money on the table, sellers have returned to housing markets across the country in large numbers as the promise of future interest rate cuts draw skittish buyers back into the fray, according to a report released today by RE/MAX Canada. The 2024 RE/MAX Canada Condominium Report examined condominium activity between January – August 2024 in seven major markets across the country including Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley, City of Calgary, Edmonton, Greater Toronto, Ottawa and Halifax Regional Municipality, and found that condo listings have soared in anticipation of increased demand in the fourth quarter of 2024 and early 2025. Growth in inventory levels was highest in the Fraser Valley (58.7 per cent), followed by Greater Toronto (52.8 per cent), City of Calgary (52.4 per cent), Ottawa (44.5 per cent), Edmonton (17.7 per cent), Halifax Regional Municipality (8.1 per cent) and Vancouver (7.3 per cent). Values have held up surprisingly well given the influx of listings, with gains posted in Calgary (15 per cent), Edmonton (four per cent), Ottawa (2.3 per cent), Vancouver (1.9 per cent), Fraser Valley (1.9 per cent), and Halifax (1.2 per cent). Meanwhile in Greater Toronto, the average price fell two per cent short of year-ago. While sales were robust in Alberta thanks to in-migration from other parts of the country, Edmonton led the way in terms of percentage increase in the number of condos sold, up just close to 37 per cent from year-ago levels, marking the region's best performance in the previous five-year period. This is followed by a more tempered Calgary market, which was up 2.6 per cent over 2023. Remaining markets saw home-buying activity soften in the condominium sector. “High interest rates and stringent lending policies pummeled first-time buyers in recent years, preventing many from reaching their home-ownership goal, despite having to pay record high rental costs that mirrored mortgage payments,” says RE/MAX Canada President Christopher Alexander. “The current lull is the calm before the storm. Come spring of 2025, pent-up demand is expected to fuel stronger market activity, particularly at entry-level price points, as both first-time buyers and investors once again vie for affordable condominium product.” SOURCE: Greater Vancouver REALTORS, Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, Calgary Real Estate Board, REALTORS Association of Edmonton, Toronto Regional Real Estate Board, Ottawa Real Estate Board, Nova Scotia Association of REALTORS. *Apartments Only **Estimated average price for Greater Vancouver Edmonton and Calgary remain firmly entrenched in seller's market territory, while conditions are more balanced in Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Ottawa and Halifax. These markets will likely transition in 2025. Toronto may be the last to emerge from more sluggish conditions, however, Alexander notes that it's a market that has been known to turn quickly. Absorption rates will be a key indicator. Certainly, the market forces of supply and demand always prevail, so some neighbourhoods will fare better than others. Of note in Toronto, prices have likely bottomed out and that's usually evidence that a turnaround is in sight. The current uptick in inventory levels is drawing more traffic to listings, yet buyers remain somewhat skittish across the country. The first two Bank of Canada interest rate cuts did little to entice prospective homebuyers to engage in the market, given the degree of rate increases that took place. However, with further rate reductions expected and policy adjustments to address affordability and ease entry into the market, activity will likely start to climb, particularly among end users. “Even in softer markets, hot pockets tend to emerge,” says Alexander. “In the condominium segment we're seeing a diverse mix among the most in-demand areas, ranging from traditional blue-chip communities to gentrifying up-and-comers, as well as suburban hot spots. Condominiums in choice recreational areas were among the markets posting stronger sales activity—a trend that was also reflected in our single-detached housing report issued earlier this year.” In each market, there are condominium pockets that defied overall trends. In the Greater Toronto Area, condominium sales were up by double digits in the first eight months of 2024 in midtown communities such as Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB)'s Yonge-Eglinton, Humewood-Cedarvale, Forest Hill South (C03) where activity increased 25.3 per cent (114 condo sales in 2024 compared to 91 sales in 2023) and Bedford-Park-Nortown, Lawrence Park, and Forest Hill North (C04) rose 13.3 per cent (128/113). The west end's High Park, South Parkdale, Swansea and Roncesvalles (W01) communities experienced a 15.7-per-cent upswing in units sold (206/178) while neighbouring W02 including High Park North, Junction, Lambton Baby Point, and Runnymede-Bloor West Village climbed 25.2 per cent (189/151). In the east end, the Beaches (E03) reported a 20.3-per-cent increase in sales activity. In Greater Vancouver, an uptick in apartment sales was noted in suburban markets including Port Coquitlam where the number of units sold was up 11 per cent (263 in 2024 compared to 237 in 2023) while more moderate increases were posted in New Westminster (up 0.4 per cent) and recreational communities such as Whistler/Pemberton (up 3.3 per cent). In Fraser Valley, Mission was the sole market to experience an increase in apartment sales, according to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, up just over 74 per cent year-over-year (68 in 2024 compared to 39 in 2023). Strong sales were also reported in Calgary neighbourhoods such as Eau Claire (up 59.1 per cent) and Downtown East Village (up 17.3 per cent). Meanwhile, RE/MAX found that investor activity has stalled in most markets. The slowdown has been most notable in Greater Toronto, where up to 30 per cent of investors have experienced negative cashflow on rental properties as mortgage carrying costs climbed, according to analytics by Urbanation and CIBC Economics. Investor confidence is expected to recover in the months ahead, as interest rates fall and return on investment (ROI) improves. Edmonton bucked the trend in investor pullback. With supply outpacing demand in Canada's most affordable condominium market, savvy investors in Edmonton have been actively revitalizing tired condominium stock and subsequently renting it out for top dollar. Affordability has been a significant draw for out-of-province investors, particularly those from Ontario and British Columbia who are seeking opportunities further afield to bulk up their portfolios. Out-of-province developers and builders have been similarly motivated by Edmonton's lower development costs and lack of red tape. Halifax to a lesser extent has drawn investor interest, with affordability, low vacancy rates and upward pressure on rents being the primary factor behind the city's appeal. “In many markets, end users are in the driver's seat right now,” explains Alexander. “While investors are an important part of the purchaser pool, this point in time is a unique opportunity for aspiring condominium buyers who, for a short window of time, will likely see less competition from investors and a better supply of product. This is especially true in Toronto and Vancouver, where the impact of monetary policy has hit investor profit margins to a greater extent despite high rent and low vacancy rates. With values set to rise, this is arguably the most favourable climate condominiums buyers have seen in recent years.” In the longer term, immigration to Canada and in-migration/out-migration from one province or region to another will continue to prop up demand for condominiums in the years to come, as condominiums now represent both a first step to home ownership, and increasingly—in Canada's most expensive markets—the middle step as well. Although population numbers are forecast to contract in the short-term, overall growth will resume, with Statistics Canada's projections falling just short of 44 million to as high as 49 million by 2035. Increasing density and urbanization, along with continued population growth is expected to support the long-term outlook for condominium activity nationally. Canada's urban population has been climbing consistently since the post-WWII period with an estimated 80 per cent of Canadians residing in urban centres. Downtowns are growing fast, and more rapidly than ever before. “The housing mix is evolving very quickly as a result of densification and urbanization. Condominiums now represent the heart of our largest cities, and it is inevitable that further development will see condos become the driving force accounting for the lion's share of sales in years to come,” says Alexander. “It's a physical and cultural shift that Canadians are not only adjusting to but are embracing, as younger generations redefine urban neighbourhoods, sparking demand for vibrant and robust amenities, infusing new life in Canada's urban cores in the process.” Market by market overview Greater Vancouver Area and Fraser Valley Softer market conditions prevailed throughout much of the year in the Greater Vancouver Area and the Fraser Valley, with fewer sales of condominium apartments occurring across the board in 2024. In Greater Vancouver, year-to-date apartment sales between January and August were well off year-ago levels at 9,248, according to Greater Vancouver Realtors, down just over eight per cent from the same period in 2023. Neighbouring Fraser Valley reported just 3,130 apartments changing hands between January and August of this year, down 8.5 per cent from year-ago levels. Values continue to climb in the Fraser Valley, where the overall average price year-to-date for apartment units is up two per cent year-over year ($559,215/$548,658) according to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, while Vancouver has edged up two per cent to $823,550 in 2024, compared to $807,085 in 2023. Home-buying activity started with a bang in both Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley this year as the anticipation of interest rate cuts in April fuelled momentum. When it became evident that interest rates would hold steady until June or July, the wind was sucked from the market sails. Several areas in Greater Vancouver have reported an increase in year-to-date sales, including Port Coquitlam (263 sales in 2024 compared to 237 sales in 2023), New Westminster (546/544) and Whistler/Pemberton (186/180). Despite several interest rate cuts to date, however, buyers are still skittish, holding off on purchasing their home until rates decline further, while sellers are reluctant to list their homes for fear of leaving money on the table. The catch-22 situation has been frustrating for buyers and sellers alike, but buyers who pull the trigger now on a purchase, may ultimately find themselves in a better position come spring. Selection is good with more than 2,100 apartments currently listed for sale in Greater Vancouver and another 2,080 available in the Fraser Valley, and buyers have the luxury of time to make thoughtful decisions. Come spring, the number of purchasers in the market is expected to increase, placing upward pressure on values. Some of the most popular areas for condominium sales in Greater Vancouver in recent years are in East Vancouver. Its culturally diverse and artsy neighbourhoods, top-shelf restaurants and cafés, including Michelin Star Published on Main, as well as craft breweries and entertainment, have served to draw a younger demographic. False Creek, Mt. Pleasant, Kits Point, Fairview, Pt. Grey and Dunbar offer condo buyers a spectacular view of North Vancouver and the Burrard Inlet and easy access to the Skytrain, bike and walking paths, parks and recreational facilities. A one-bedroom apartment in an established building in Mt. Pleasant can be purchased for approximately $650,000, while newer product can be picked up for as low as $490,000 to a high of $928,000. Prices in nearby Kits trend higher with a one-bedroom hovering at $715,000 on average. The lion's share of apartment sales in both Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley are occurring under the $800,000 price point for a one-bedroom apartment, while a two-bedroom priced below $1 million will generate solid interest. The Valley tends to offer greater selection under the $800,000 price point, and typically has more appeal with first-time buyers. As demand rises in tandem with the Bank of Canada's interest rate cuts, absorption levels should increase. Spring of 2025 is expected to be characterized by strong demand and dwindling supply, with modest increases in average price. Strong economic fundamentals going into the new year will support an increase in home-buying activity, with lower interest rates and longer amortization periods helping to draw first time buyers into the market once again. City of Calgary While interprovincial migration has slowed from year-ago levels, overall net migration to Alberta continues to climb, sparking demand in the province's affordable real estate market. In Calgary, the sale of condominium apartments experienced a modest increase of almost three per cent in the first eight months of the year, with 5,722 units changing hands compared to 5,577 sales during the same period in 2023. Year-to-date average price has climbed 15 per cent year-over-year to just over $347,000, up from $301,868 in 2023, according to the Calgary Real Estate Board. Growth has been noted in virtually all areas of the city, with the greatest percentage increases in sales occurring in Eau Claire (59.1 per cent), Killarney/Glengary (46.7 per cent), Garrison Woods (64.7 per cent) Garrison Green (23.5 per cent) and Currie Barracks (18.2 per cent). Most condominium apartment sales are occurring in the downtown district, where walkability plays a major role. Younger buyers tend to gravitate toward the core area, which allows residents to walk to work and amenities. Not surprisingly, the highest number of sales occurred in the Downtown East Village, where 129 units have been sold year to date, up from 110 sales one year ago. Significant gains have also been posted in average price, with Saddle Ridge experiencing an increase in values close to 36 per cent, rising to $317,997 in 2024, followed by Hillhurst, which increased 21.4 per cent to $423,873. Out of the 12 key Calgary markets analyzed by RE/MAX, seven posted double-digit gains in values. Seller's market conditions prevailed in the city throughout much of the year, with strong demand characterizing home-buying activity. Luxury apartment sales are on the upswing, with 49 apartments selling over $1 million so far this year compared to 41 during the same period in 2023, an increase of 19.5 per cent. Empty nesters, retirees and oil executives are behind the push for high-end units, most of which are in the downtown core offering spectacular views of both the Bow River and the mountains. First-time buyers are most active in the suburbs, where they can get the best bang for their buck in communities such as McKenzie Town, Panorama Hills and Saddle Ridge. Apartment values in these areas average around $300,000, making them an attractive first step to home ownership, but also an affordable entry point for small investors. After a heated spring market, inventory levels have improved substantially, with a relatively good selection of condominiums available for sale. Inventory levels hover at close to 1,500, up substantially from year-ago levels, with the sales-to-new listings ratio now sitting at 60 per cent. With interest rates trending lower, more buyers and a greater number of investors are expected to enter the market in the year ahead. Rather than waiting for next spring, when rates are lower but prices are higher, buyers may want to consider making a purchase today when supply is healthy and market conditions are less heated. Buying with a two-month closing could also capture the expected Bank of Canada rate cuts in October and December. Edmonton Home-buying activity in the Edmonton's apartment segment exploded in 2024, with year-to-date sales almost 37 per cent ahead of year-ago levels. Affordability continues to be the catalyst for activity, with 3,351 units changing hands, up from 2,452 sales one year ago, making 2024 the best year for apartment sales in the past five years (for the January to August period). The average price of an apartment in Edmonton year-to-date is $200,951, up four per cent over year-ago levels, according to the Realtors Association of Edmonton, making Edmonton the lowest-priced major market in the country. Immigration and in-migration have seriously contributed to the uptick in sales, with Edmonton reporting record population growth in 2023. Statistics Canada data for Alberta in the second quarter of 2024 show net interprovincial migration continues unabated, up almost 11 per cent, with 9,654 new residents coming from other Canadian centres – the majority hailing from Ontario and British Columbia. During the same period, immigration numbers remained relatively constant at 32,000. The sales-to-new-listings ratio now sits at 65 per cent—clear seller's territory. Many condominiums are now moving in multiple offers. The influx of newcomers has buoyed the city, with growth evident in neighbourhoods from the downtown core to the suburbs. Most are buying up properties, as opposed to renting, as they may have done in years past. Home ownership is more-easily attainable in Edmonton relative to other major cities, with the cost of a condominium apartment as low as $100,000. Newer condominiums are available for less than $300,000. Condominiums vary in shape and size in Edmonton, with row house condominiums featuring a backyard and a garage being a major attraction. Investors have also entered the picture, buying up older, tired condo units, fixing them up and renting them out for top dollar. Lower development costs have also prompted an influx of out-of-province builders and developers who can quickly construct 20- and 30-floor high-rise towers or townhouse developments that fill the missing middle. Well-known builders in Ontario and British Columbia are moving into the Alberta market because of the lack of red tape. Several condominium buildings are currently underway, with many more in various stages of planning. With demand currently outpacing supply, the quicker these units come on stream, the better. By 2027, more balance market conditions are expected. First-time buyers are also exceptionally active in the condo segment. Affordable price points and a notable lack of provincial and municipal land transfer taxes allow younger buyers to easily enter the market. Purchasers who are coming from other provinces quickly realize how far their dollar stretches in Edmonton, as the low cost of housing allows for more disposable income. Homeowners can pay their mortgage, go out for weekly dinners, and have an annual vacation, without too much stress. Amenity-rich Oliver remains one of the most coveted hubs in Edmonton. West of 109th St. and the downtown core, the diverse neighbourhood offers a mix of new condominium development including walk ups, mid- and high-rise buildings, and peripheral spin off including retail shops, restaurants and entertainment, all within a short walk to the River Valley. Demand is especially high thanks to the walkability of the area and close proximity to the ICE District. Old Strathcona and Whyte Avenue are also sought-after. The trendy arts and cultural area boasts a mix of funky, bohemian-style and historic buildings, galleries, boutiques, shops, restaurants, cafes and a vibrant nightlife. Edmonton's housing market continues to be driven from the bottom up. Renters move into condo apartments, who move into condo row housing, who move into townhomes and eventually make their way to single-detached homes. The cycle is expected to be supported by a strong local and provincial economy heading into 2025 as monetary policy continues to ease, households and businesses increase spending, and oil prices climb. Greater Toronto Area Demand for condominium apartments and townhomes in the Greater Toronto Area has softened year-over-year, with sales off 2023 levels by eight per cent. Close to 16,800 condo apartments and townhomes changed hands between January and August 2024, down from 18,263 sales during the same period in 2023. Overall condominium values fell almost two per cent, with average price now sitting at $732,648 for apartments and townhomes, down from $747,039 during the same period in 2023, according to data from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB). Two buyer pools are impacting the condominium market at present—investors and end users. The investment segment has stalled, as a growing number of condominium investors find themselves unable to cover their carrying costs when closing, despite a relatively strong rental market. In a July 2024 report, Urbanation and CIBC Economics examined the distribution of cash flow by dollar amount and found that 30 per cent of investors of new condos completed in 2023 were cash flow negative by $1,000 or more. End users, especially those seeking larger one-bedroom-plus-den or two-bedroom units, are active in the condo market, particularly in the Forest Hill South, Yonge-Eglinton, Humewood-Cedarvale (C03) and Bedford-Nortown, Lawrence Park and Forest Hill North (C04). Several new buildings in these areas have prompted a 25.3- and 13.3-per-cent uptick in sales activity respectively, while average price has edged slightly higher in Forest Hill South, Yonge-Eglinton, Humewood-Cedarvale ($871,839 in 2024 compared to $863,681 in 2023). Double-digit increases in year-to-date condominium sales in the 416 were also reported in west end communities such as High Park, South Parkdale, Swansea and Roncesvalles (up 15.7 per cent), High Park North, Junction, Lambton- Baby Point, and Runnymede-Bloor West Village (up 25.2 per cent); and in the east, the Beaches area (up 20.3 per cent). In the 905-area code, an uptick in condo activity was noted in Halton Hills (up 21.6 per cent) and Milton (up 13.3 per cent); and in Newmarket (up 30.6 per cent). Close to 43 per cent of TRREB districts in the 416-area code reported modest gains in average price between January and August of 2024, led by the Annex, Yonge-St. Clair (C02), with a close to 14-per-cent increase in values. One in four markets in the 905-area code have posted gains in condominium values year-over-year. Inventory levels continued to climb throughout much of the year as available resale units were joined by an influx of new completions on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Selection has vastly improved over year-ago levels, with over 8,300 apartment units actively listed for sale at the end of August, compared to 5,455 units during the same period in 2023. Almost 1,700 active listings were reported in the condo townhouse segment, up 53 per cent from the 1,110 posted in 2023. Pre-construction condominium assignments are still occurring as investors look to sell their units before registration, but the pace has subsided since 2023. New completions have slowed in the second quarter of this year in Greater Toronto–Hamilton in large part due to the lack of investor interest, with starts off last year's level by 67 per cent, according to Urbanation. Repercussions in the short-term will be negligible but the longer-term impact is expected to be substantial. Twenty-thousand new condominium units are planned for the GTA in 2025; 30,000 in 2026; and 40,000 in 2027. In 2028, the figure falls to 5,000 units. At that point, construction will heat up, but not fast enough to meet demand. With a six-month supply of condominiums currently available for sale, the GTA market is heading into clear buyers' territory. With values at or near bottom and Bank of Canada overnight rates trending lower, the fall market may represent the perfect storm for first-time buyers. As rates drop, more buyers are expected to enter the market in the months ahead. As absorption rates increase, the current oversupply will be diminished and demand will take flight, placing upward pressure on average prices once again. Ottawa Although downsizing empty nesters, retirees and first-time homebuyers fuelled steady demand for condominium apartments and walk-ups in Ottawa in 2024, the number of units sold between January and August fell short of year-ago levels. The Ottawa Real Estate Board reported just over 1,400 condominium apartments changed hands year to date, down less than one per cent from 2023. Meanwhile, values rose 2.3 per cent over last year, with average price rising to $447,042. Affordability remains a major concern in Ottawa, despite changes to monetary policy in recent months. First-time buyers find themselves locked out of the freehold market, given high interest rates and stringent lending policies. Fixed mortgage rates have dropped in recent weeks and are expected to continue to decline for the remainder of the year and into 2025, but potential buyers are still wary. Inventory levels have increased year over year as a result, with active listings in August hovering at 636, approximately 44.5 per cent ahead of 2023. First-time buyers who choose to move forward with a purchase are typically looking for condominiums with low monthly maintenance fees and a parking spot priced from $500,000 to $550,000. The downtown core to Centretown and Dows Lake are popular destinations, given the proximity to the workplace, shops and restaurants. Those seeking to spend less could find a lower-priced unit in an older building for $350,000 but monthly condominium fees would be significantly higher. Suburban condominiums in areas such as Kanata, Barrhaven, and Orleans are also an option, priced from $375,000 to $400,000. Tighter inventory levels exist in the luxury segment, where fewer condominium apartments are available over the $850,000 price point. Empty nesters and retirees are responsible for the lion's share of activity in the top end of Ottawa's condominium market. Westboro, the Golden Triangle, and Centretown, as well as neighbourhoods undergoing gentrification including The Glebe, Lansdowne, and Old Ottawa East, are most sought-after by buyers, many of whom are downsizing. Walkability is a major factor in these communities, with condominium apartments within walking distance to top restaurants and cafes, unique shops and picturesque walking paths. As consumer confidence grows with each interest rate cut, more and more buyers should return to the market. Fourth-quarter sales are expected to be comparable to year-ago levels, but the outlook for spring of 2025 appears to be bright. Pent-up demand is building and those first into the market will reap the rewards. Halifax Regional Municipality After three consecutive interest rate cuts and the prospect of two more by year end, optimism is finally building in the Halifax Regional Municipality housing market. Average condominium values have edged ahead of year-ago levels in the first eight months of the year, now sitting at $484,491, up one per cent over the $479,558 reported during the same period in 2023. Condominium sales, however, declined year over year, with 510 properties changing hands between January and August, down close to seven per cent from last year's levels, according to data compiled by the Nova Scotia Association of Realtors. The trepidation that existed earlier in the year is subsiding and confidence is starting to grow as inflation is curtailed. The most competitive segment of the overall housing market remains under $600,000 in the Halifax area, with first-time buyers most active at this price point. Entry-level condominiums priced between $300,000 and $400,000 are most sought after, while semi-detached and townhomes tend to be the preferred choice over $400,000. At the top end of the market, condominium sales over $750,000 have experienced a modest uptick, with 35 properties sold so far this year, compared to 34 during the same period one year ago. Year-to-date average price in the top end of the market has softened from year-ago levels, sitting at almost $940,000, down from $957,300 during the same timeframe in 2023. Young professionals and retirees are largely behind the push for higher-end condominiums, with most sales occurring within the city's downtown core. Downward pressure on interest rates has prompted more sellers to list their condos in recent weeks, but there are no liquidation sales occurring. Inventory levels are up just over eight per cent from 2023. The vast majority of condominium apartments are found on the peninsula's northeast quadrant, central and downtown cores. Some developments are situated on the waterfront in Dartmouth (near the ferry) and in Bedford, but supply is less plentiful in these areas. Investors are also active in Halifax's condominium market with an eye toward rental properties. Multi-unit housing remains exceptionally popular, with most investors interested in buildings with eight to 10 units. Four-plexes and duplexes are also an option, given the city's low vacancy rates and upward pressure on rent. In-migration and immigration have continued to play a role in the city's growth, although the influx of newcomers has abated somewhat from peak levels. Positive international immigration, coupled with interprovincial migration, contributed to a net increase of 6,000 people in the second quarter of 2024. Major improvements are planned for the Dartmouth waterfront that will make it more pedestrian friendly in the coming years, including public spaces and cruise ships. The redevelopment hopes to mirror the success of Halifax's vibrant waterfront area that continues to attract both visitors and residents to the area's restaurants and cafes, outdoor kiosks, retail shops, playgrounds, museums, and the ferry terminal.  With continuous investment and a bold new vision for the municipality, Halifax is expected to thrive in the years ahead, given the city's affordable real estate and spectacular topography.

Manlua no es un youtuber ni pretende serlo. Su canal recién estrenado en YouTube tiene 46 suscriptores y ha subido 48 vídeos en los que nos muestra sus andanzas por la comarca y por aquellos lugares a los que llega caminando. Él es Manuel Luaces López, un vecino de San Mateo que se prepara para una aventura muy especial. Hace unos años Manuel fue arrollado por un coche cuando iba en bicicleta y aquel accidente marcó un antes y un después en su vida. Además de daños físicos, su cabeza entró en un cortocircuito del que, con el apoyo de la medicina, sus amigos y sobre todo su fuerza de voluntad, se está recuperando. Un día descubrió que caminar en solitario, hacer kilómetros, le ayudaba a recuperar la paz interior que necesitaba, a descubrir la fuerza que aún tiene dentro y a reconectarse con el mundo, disfrutando de la naturaleza. Por todo ello ahora se prepara para su reto más importante. Ha hecho dos veces el camino de Santiago desde Roncesvalles, también el Camino Inglés y el Primitivo, el de San Andrés y cientos de rutas por la comarca, pero ahora su sueño es recorrer en solitario los 800 kilómetros del sendero de gran recorrido que cruza los Pirineos, el GR11, desde el mar Mediterráneo (Cabo de Creus) hasta el mar Cantábrico (Cabo de Higuer). Es una ruta que discurre por alta montaña y contados refugios. Manuel afirma: «Todos los caminos me aportaron algo diferente y en este, que haré en junio, podré reflexionar, crecer y recargar energías». Podremos seguir su aventura a través de su canal de YouTube Manlua y de su cuenta en X @manuel_luc46162.

CAMINO DE SANTIAGO PIRINEOS 1: De Aure y Louron al Sobrarbe, sobre las huellas de los celtíberos de Sertorio Hace dos mil años, la guerra civil romana se resolvió con el asesinato de Sertorio en Hispania. El último caudillo del partido demócrata había apostado por crear una segunda República en Hispania, con senado y capital en Huesca. Sus legiones estaban formadas por celtíberos (vetones, arévacos..) educados y armadas, Asesinado Sertorio por el traidor Perpena, sus legiones celtíberas fueron deportadas por el partido aristócrata al norte del Pirineo, donde fundaron Lugdunum Covenarum y su vecina Arreau. Mil años despues, el hallazgo de la tumba de Santiago dio inicio a una pacítfica invasión en sentido contrario, con decenas de miles de peregrinos francos que seguían en su gran mayoría el camino de Piedemonte bordeando PIrineos hasta Roncesvalles. Pero algunos bravos apostaban por pasarlo desde los valles de Aure y Louron hacia el Sobrarbe, sobre las huellas de los guerreros hispanos deportados mil años antes. Hoy queremos seguir esa ruta jacobea con bicicleta gravel para saborear en menos de 100 millas el espectacular paisaje del Pirineo Centrail que ofrece riqueza histórica y monumental abrumadora. Rodaremos desde aquella Lugdunum (hoy Saint Bertrand de Comminges) partiremos hacia Ainsa sin prisas, saboreando el camino con jalones como Arreau, Vielle Aure, Saint Lary, Tramezaigues, Riomajou, Aragnouet... Tras una gran trepada, cruzaremos la muga por el Tunel de Bielsa para seguir camino por Parzán, Bielsa y rendir camino en Ainsa no sin antes desvianos a rodar el Circo de Pineta a la vera del Parque de Ordesa En los próximos días os iremos contando en redes socilales la aventura diaria.

Todo está listo para el inicio del Año jubilar de Caravaca 2024 que comenzará, oficialmente, el domingo y que podrán seguir en directo en la programación de ONDA REGIONAL. Se calcula que un millón de peregrinos llegarán a la ciudad a lo largo de los próximos meses. En una entrevista en el programa 'Plaza Pública' el alcalde de Caravaca, José Francisco García, no quiere hablar de cifras, aunque el Instituto de Turismo si que ha señalado ese dato, un millón de peregrinos según los cálculos del organismo, que estarían por encima de los 600.000 que se contabilizaron el anterior año jubilar. Para el alcalde lo importante no son las cifras sino la consolidación del turismo en la ciudad.Caravaca de la Cruz se prepara para atender a esos cientos de miles de peregrinos a lo largo del año, y hoteles, restaurantes, y bares están expectantes. El propio ayuntamiento tiene que asumir gastos extra de seguridad o limpieza, entre otros, por lo que García pide ayuda a las administraciones regional y centralLos caminos de la Cruz se han ido consolidando, en gran parte gracias a la sociedad civil, que ha señalizado parte de esas vías: el camino del Levante, la ruta desde Beas del Segura, conocida como la de San Juan de la Cruz, el camino del Apostol, que parte de Cartagena, el más largo que viene desde Roncesvalles, o la última incorporación, el camino espiritual del Sur, desde Granada.Lo importante, para el alcalde de Caravaca, es que una vez que acabe el Año Jubilar, haya mejorado el sector turístico, no solo en la localidad sino en toda la región.

Juan David Betancurelnarrodororal@gmail.comHabía una vez un muchacho nacido de noble estirpe ya que era hijo de la princesa berta hermana de  Carlomagno el primer emperador Europeo por allá en el siglo XVIII. El muchacho recibió el nombre de Rolando, nombre que hacía relación a un hecho fortuito al nacer ya que había rodado al suelo al salir del vientre de su madre.  Habiendo crecido bajo el manto de la familia de Carlomagno, Rolando adopto la vida militar y con los años fue ganando reconocimiento como uno de los más aguerridos caballeros del medioevo y su destreza con la espada, la cual llamaba Durandarte lo hizo famoso.  En el año 778 CarloMagno decidio atacar la hoy conocida ciudad de pamplona en la parte norte de lo que hoy es España y después de destruir sus murallas saqueo la ciudad antes de tomar el camino de regreso a Francia cruzando los pirineos. Los vascos que controlaban la ciudad juraron vengar la destrucción y decidieron perseguir las huestes de Carlomagno y su sobrino Rolando.  Siendo los vascos amplios conocedores de los diferentes pasos montañosos y sus dificultades le tendieron una emboscada a la armada de CarloMagno en el paso de Roncesvalles, donde por lo escarpado del terreno, la fuerte armada de los francos podían ser objeto de ataques de enemigos menos numerosos.  Sucedió que la retaguardia de los francos iba comandada por el valiente Rolando y al ser atacados por las tribus vascas que los persiguieron desde pamplona. Allí el 15 de agosto del año 778, los vascos atacaron por sorpresa al ejército franco y lograron separar y rodear a los soldados comandados por Rolando. Mientras el grueso del ejército de CarloMagno continuaba el cruce de los pirineos hacia Francia, Rolando y su pequeño número de soldados se quedaron en Roncesvalles enfrentando a los guerreros vascos.  Habiendo sido emboscados, sin apoyo del grueso del ejercito del emperador y con inferioridad numérica los francos fueron derrotados y Rolando quedo seriamente herido en el campo de batalla.  Su caballo, de nombre vigilante, cayo sobre el cuerpo de Rolando y cuando las tropas vascas recorrieron el campo de batalla buscando sobrevivientes para aniquilarlos, lo tomaron por muerto y siguieron sin rematarlo. Cuenta la leyenda que cuando rolando volvió en si, sintió el cuerpo del animal sobre el y haciendo un esfuerzo sobre humano se apoyó con una mano sobre una roca y levanto todo el peso del animal, dejando además las marcas de sus dedos sobre la roca.  Mal herido, desorientado y solo Rolando se juró que volvería a ver tierra francesa antes de morir así que jadeando llego hasta el valle de Ordesa que esta bordeado por los riscos que dividen Francia y España. Los altos riscos pirineos eran ya de por si un paso difícil de superar y más cuando se encontraba mal herido. Mientras comenzaba a subir las grandes montañas oyó como desde el valle una jauría guiaba un contingente de vascos que lo habían descubierto mientras trepaba los grandes riscos.  Finalmente, solo le faltaba flanquear el monte perdido, un alto peñasco de más de 100 metros de altura que dividía efectivamente esta tierra de su amada patria francesa. Sus fuerzas estaban ya perdidas y su único interés en lo poco que le quedaba de vida era ver por ultima vez sus tierras francesas y así despedirse de este mundo.  Rolando intento subir la escarpada pared de piedra, pero se le era imposible, asi que tomando su espada Durandarte la lanzo buscando que ella si pudiera caer al otro lado del promontorio de piedra. La espada Durandarte golpeo la pared de piedra pero al no poder superar la altura de 100 metros cayo de nuevo a los pies de Rolando. Este la tomo y con un mayor esfuerzo la lanzo tratando de superar la altura, de nuevo la espada c

They say the only way to know Camino is to walk Camino. Ready or not I'm a pilgrim. Better get on with it. I laced up my boots, shouldered my pack, zipped my rain jacket, and headed up the first of many hills into the rain for whatever came next.Question: You might think you know what happens next; but it's most likely going to be an unscripted day.

Hizo un cambio de sentido y se ha dedicado plenamente a la escritura. Es Lorenzo Silva. El chico es Bevilacqua, y la chica, Chamorro. Después de casi 25 años junto a nosotros, siempre tenemos curiosidad renovada por ver en qué nuevo lío se meten, qué caso deben resolver.

Había salido tres semanas antes de Roncesvalles, donde tuvo un incidente con un desconocido, pero esta es sólo una de las pistas que no ayudan a una resolución rápida.

Friends of the Rosary: We pray today's Rosary from Roncesvalles, Navarre, the main entry point of the Way of St. James in Spain. In the month of August we celebrate two martyrs of Auschwitz, St. Maximilian Kolbe and St. Teresa Benedicta. Today is the Memorial Day of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, also known as St. Edith Stein. Born into a prominent Jewish family in Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland), she was a brilliant philosopher, university teacher, and major force in German intellectual life. Edith Stein was captivated by reading the autobiography of Teresa of Avila. Later she'd imitate Teresa by becoming a Carmelite Discalced. In 1942, she was arrested by the Nazi regime, along with all Catholics of Jewish extraction and transported by cattle train to the death camp of Auschwitz. Teresa Benedicta and her sister Rosa, also a Catholic, died in a gas chamber in Auschwitz on August 9, 1942. Pope John Paul II beatified Teresa Benedicta in 1987 and canonized her in 1998. Ave Maria! Jesus, I Trust In You! St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, Pray for Us! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • August 9, 2021, Today's Holy Rosary on YouTube — Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

Segunda parada: Roncesvalles- Larrasoaña

We've been on a bit of a run lately with bringing back past guests who are well overdue for a visit, so this week we're hanging with Founder Stéphane Dubois and Head Brewer Benoit Brame of Toronto's Bandit Brewery. We last kicked it with Bandit back in the summer of 2018, and a clearly lot has changed with the only brewery in Roncesvalles.  With co-host Notion (of both Illnote Studios and BAOS's very own photographer and audio engineer) joining Cee, they sat down with Stéphane and Benoit (coming live from the brewery) to chat about their large barrel program expansion, how Benoit joined the brewery, whether their French heritage influenced their beers and a lot more. We crushed three of their IPAs (Cloud, Hive and Ned), along with Elements #7 (wild ale with cherries), Longwave 20.1 (bourbon barrel-aged barleywine) and Sway (imperial stout with chocolate and raspberries). This was a fun one - shouts to Juan, cheers! BAOS Podcast Subscribe to the podcast on YouTube | Website | Theme tune: Cee - BrewHeads

Los musulmanes a partir del año 711 iniciaron la ocupación progresiva de la Península Ibérica a excepción de los territorios situados al norte. En la cordillera Cantábrica fueron derrotados por el rey Don Pelayo en la batalla de Covadonga en el año 722, evitando su avance. Posterioremente los hispano-musulmanes convirtieron Córdoba en capital del Califato independiente en el Al Andalus hispanomusulmán, Córdoba vive un esplendor cultural derivado de las tres culturas; la islámica árabe (muladíes hispanovisigodos convertidos al islam), la mozárabe (cristiana hispanovisigoda) y judía serfadí, siendo un puente entre Europa y el islam oriental. La belleza de la ciudad de Córdoba fue famosa en toda Europa. En estos territorios del norte peninsular fueron formándose diferentes núcleos cristianos que posteriormente se convirtieron en reinos. El primero de ellos fue el Reino de Aturias o Astur-Leonés. En el siglo VIII se inició la Reconquista, el primer reino cristiano que se formó a partir de la victoria de Don Pelayo, en el siglo X el reino se extendió hasta el valle del Duero pasando a llamarse Reino de León. Cántabros y astures apenas romanizados ni cristianizados colaboraron con nobles visigodos huidos del sur o provenientes de la zona, lo que les permitió el control de un pequeño territorio en torno a Cangas de Onís. El reinado de Alfonso I (s. VIII) tendría una importancia decisiva. La revuelta de los bereberes (Al-Andalus), que los llevó a abandonar prácticamente toda la submeseta norte, le permitió reconquistar todo el Valle del Duero, de donde se llevó a la mayor parte de sus habitantes mozárabes cristianos. Ello supuso un importante refuerzo demográfico, así como un creciente influjo visigótico. Además originó un "desierto estratégico" que sirvió de protección al naciente reino asturiano y posteriormente permitió la paulatina "repoblación". Con Alfonso II el Casto tuvo lugar la independencia religiosa respecto de Toledo, la eclosión del mito de Santiago (hallazgo de su sepulcro), la adopción del Fuero Juzgo (creciente visigotización) y el traslado de la capital a Oviedo. Además se consolidó el control territorial de toda la franja cantábrica (1ª mitad del siglo IX). Posteriormente, hasta la época del surgimiento del Califato, aprovechándose las revueltas muladíes, se produjo la expansión hasta el curso del río Duero, abarcándose desde Galicia a la naciente Castilla (en el límite con los territorios vascones). Más que de expansión militar se habría tratado de una paulatina expansión demográfica. En esa época la corte se estableció en una posición central: León. A todo esto, la peculiar, la peculiar situación geo-estratégica de los extremos del reino (Galicia y Castilla) había dado origen a tendencias centrífugas, que en el caso castellano cristalizaron hacia mediados del s. X en una casi total autonomía con el conde Fernán González. El Reino de Pamplona-Navarra de los vascones nace controlando el importante paso de Roncesvalles. Los Arista con el apoyo de los Banu Casi (de la marca del Ebro), consiguieron librarlo tempranamente del control carolingio o reino de los francos. Una nueva dinastía (Jimena) (p. del s. X), en alianza con León, impuso una más intensa jerarquización, así como una más clara oposición frente al Islam (anexión de La Rioja), incorporando además el condado vecino de Aragón. Los problemas internos de León en esa época, posiblemente facilitaron la creciente preponderancia navarra, que culminó en tiempos de Sancho III el Mayor, incorporando el Condado de Castilla, naciendo el Reino de Castilla. Este monarca, además de fomentar la relación con la Europa de la época (Camino de Santiago, comercio, reforma cluniacense, feudalismo, inmigraciones francas-francesas) se convirtió en principal beneficiario del " sistema de parias" y el reino más importante y poderoso de la península ibérica. El Condado de Aragón nace situado en el curso alto del río Aragón (que le dio nombre), controlando el paso de Canfranc, y con centro en Jaca, también bajo la influencia del reino del francos (franceses), dirigido por los Galindo . Muy relacionado con los condados vecinos de Sobrarbe y Ribagorza (al este), terminaron todos cayendo en la órbita navarra, no volviendo a la independencia hasta la muerte de Sancho III el Mayor I, donde nace el Reino de Aragón. Los Condados Catalanes de Barcelona, Gerona, Ampurias, Rosellón y Urgel, cuyo conjunto se denominó la Marca Hispánica, en los que el control carolingio fue más intenso y duradero. En este caso los límites se extendieron más allá de los valles pirenaicos, hasta el Bajo Llobregat. La progresiva independización del reino franco se produjo al compás del debilitamiento de éste (extensión del feudalismo, entronización de los Capeto), y fue acompañada de un creciente predominio del condado de Barcelona (Wifredo el Velloso (s. IX) y Borrell II (s. X).

We just crossed 100 episodes, and now we are going in a different direction. But while we continue in this state of crisis, hysteria, and madness during the COVID event, Matt has a few more things he wants to say before again taking the podcast in a new direction. If the idea of change scares you, recall the words of Henri Bergson, who said that "for a conscious being, to exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly."

We have hit the 100uh episode. man. No one to thank. This is a testament to our insistence on giving the world something that nobody wants, not to the support we've received because, quite frankly, we haven't received very much. Anyway, continue the journey of comp and cont with us here as we rant about how negative the world is, ho wmuch people kind of suck right now.

The saga continues as Matt tries to settle down his anger with all of this COVID business and get back to talking about movies. Two in particular. We want to get done with this comparison before we all die. Hurry, listen faster!

Slowly but surely, we are getting through these two movies. And you know what? We might just be getting a little enlightenment along the way.

Nuestro turismo activo va a cambiar, al menos en este verano. Y una idea que es una gran experiencia y además muy económica es la de hacer el Camino de Santiago. Pocas personas mejor que Juanjo Alonso, el conocido "Kapitán Pedales", cicloviajero y autor de 6 libros sobre el Camino, para aconsejarnos sobre estas vacaciones peregrinas: cuántos días debemos guardarnos si queremos hacerlo en bici o a pie, qué llevar y qué no en la mochila o en las alforjas, el presupuesto que nos puede hacer falta y sus rincones favoritos del Camino Francés que te lleva desde Roncesvalles hasta la Plaza del Obradoiro.

Chapter Description: I am so excited to sit down with the one and only Michael Bungay Stanier on a pair of folding lawn chairs on his front porch in the Roncesvalles neighborhood of Toronto. Michael’s mind is like a box that you open and a whole bunch of springs suddenly fly out in all directions. Here’s his Amazon biography to give you a taste of this guy: “Michael was banned from his high school graduation for the ‘balloon incident’, he was sued by one of his law school lecturers for defamation, he gave himself a concussion digging a hole one day as a laborer, he was fired on his first shift as a garage attendant and he’s held a number of jobs where he had little to no impact.” Should we stop there? No, I’ll keep going. Michael is an Australian who goes to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. He meets a beautiful Canadian woman who he falls in love with and follows back to Canada. He founds company called Box of Crayons which teaches 10-minute coaching strategies so busy managers can build stronger teams.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: What surprising thing actually gave us civilisation on the planet?   In a world of endless everything, how do we develop the critical skills to be filterers and translators? From that, how do we go about making complex things simple? (Michael is a virtuoso at this.) How do we actually think about maximizing our tiny, short lives? When should you zig when others zag? When should you think about provoking curiosity rather than create certainty? And, of course, what are the incredible Michael Bungay Stanier’s 3 most formative books? Leave us a voicemail.

For more info check out: www.3books.co  Lisa is the founder of the Goods, a cafe located on Roncesvalles Avenue in the West End of Toronto, that specializes in hand crafted, radically healthy food. Her inherent understanding of the medicinal potential of plant based cuisine has made her a leader in the functional food movement in Toronto. The Goods’ simple, yet meticulously crafted meals remind us of the deep connection between food and our wellbeing. Lisa left a career as an advertising executive to start The Goods which is ranked one of the ten healthiest restaurants in Toronto. Chapter Description: I am so excited to introduce you to Lisa Labute. Lisa ratcheted up the ladder of the advertising world, working 100-hour weeks as an ad executive helping to sell everything from fast food to luxury cars. And then she eventually burned out — had a “food incident” — and realized, like Emily McDowell told us in Chapter 18, that it’s a lot better to make things people want than making people want things. After traveling the world to lean into her new passion for mindful and intentional eating she returned to her home of Toronto to found The Goods, a cafe located in the west end of Toronto in the Roncesvalles neighborhood, that serves vegan, hand-crafted, radically healthy foods. Lisa’s understanding of the medicinal potential of plant-based cuisine has made her a leader of the functional food movement. I stumbled upon The Goods while on one of my Life-Changing Magical Walks during an Untouchable Day and struck up a conversation with Lisa. I loved her energy, vibrancy, and passion. I sensed immediately that she was a true community leader and somebody who was happy “getting off the program” to live a purpose-filled life. At The Goods every single food is made from scratch. Even the mustard! They buy mustard seeds, let them sprout, and then make their own. The kitchen is radically transparent and open concept and the walls are lined with jars full of ingredients visually listed in the ratio in which they’re used. All of the ingredients are clearly listed, and despite being a health conscious vegan restaurant, the food is presented in a non-dogmatic and non-judgemental fashion. Lisa is not a “you should” kind of person as you’ll hear. Lisa and I explore themes around how we eat well, how to exit “the program,” how to discuss mental illness, and how we find our most adventurous, wild, and truest selves. I hope you enjoy Chapter 43 of 3 Books. Let’s go! What You'll Learn: How can we stop ‘shoulding’ on ourselves? Why is there so much confusion surrounding health? How can diet alter mental health and even our oral structure? Why shouldn’t you eat any food that has a health claim on it? How do we eat healthy even when we’re travelling or busy? Why and how should we strive for a more ‘wild’ lifestyle? Leave us a voicemail. Your message may be included in a future episode: 1-833-READ-A-LOT.

Listen as podcast hosts Macrina Smart and Mustefa Jo'shen discuss Jagmeets Surge, the local candidate debate at the United Church on Roncesvalles, and outline their top issues for the Canadian Federal Election.

Libby Znaimer is joined by Bonnie Crombie, Mayor of Mississauga and Sergeant Brett Moore of Toronto Police Traffic Services. Mississauga is making changes to its traffic laws. The general committee for the City of Mississauga has supported changes to the current traffic by-law. It will see speed limits lowered across 10 different neighbourhoods from 50 km/hr to 40 km/hr. Mayor Bonnie Crombie explains that this reduction in speed limits will be safer for pedestrians and cyclists. Also, starting today, a traffic pilot project is being implemented on Queen Street. Cars illegally parked on this street between Fallingbrook Road and Roncesvalles will be relocated to a side street. This, instead of being towed, ticketed or impounded, which is the current policy. Mayor Tory says that the move is being done to deal with preventable delays. The pilot project will run for a total of six weeks.

Carefully tracking down local dear seekers has been such a pleasure since the launch of this project. When discovered an intriguing woman in the city, I’m always like a little kid in a candy store. On a rare occasion, someone would introduce me to a potential guest who they think might be a great fit, but in today’s case, it was a husband who DM me on Instagram to recommend his wife, Tammy Yiu.After connected with Tammy, I knew I had to bring this woman on board. Working as a freelance designer, Tammy co-founded Partial in 2015 in a hope to make great art discoverable and accessible. She feels a deep sense of responsibility to her community of artists and has a strong desire to make this platform a support system for artists, a discovery channel for art seekers, and an inspirational space for people who are not yet into buying art. Tammy is fuelled with positive and kindred spirit. To know her is to lover her.Sitting down on her kitchen table in her open loft at the borderline of Parkdale and Roncesvalles, we chat about her childhood years growing up in Oakville; the things she learnt from her successful entrepreneurial father; and the importance and inevitability of pivoting.Photography: Vai Yu LawConnect with us on Instagram and Spotify.

You can find Kimberly's story on https://kimscaminoadventures.wordpress.com/ If you are looking for an inspirational story of pure determination, bravery, heartache, pain and magical moments then this is the interview to listen too.  Camino Kim, as she is now known, who suffers from chronic arthritis and diabetes, opens up her heart to share her story, which starts with a near miss of hypothermia, in June, on the Pyrenees!  Below are the show notes / mini transcription of the interview. I would highly recommend listening to the audio though so that you can get a true feeling of Kimberly's journey.    How did you first hear about the Camino? I was in a staff meeting at work and a co-worker announced that she was going to be following another colleague who was walking the Camino.  I had no idea what that was but was intrigued.  That was in 2013.  Friends agreed to come along and then they kept letting her down, so it never happened.    Eventually, after lots of signs from other places (including her doctor and a support group), she decided that this was something she was going to do on her own.  Go girl!! Have you travelled much on your own before this trip? Only on holiday and always with friends.  I had never been to Europe before, so telling my family was another challenge that I had to overcome.  I have two daughters and they were fully supportive of this adventure.  What was it about the Camino that attracted you to this trail? I tried not to over analyse.  I read somewhere that you need to ask a question and stick with that question throughout your trip if you want answers.  My question was “why don’t I do things consistently”. In my everyday life I am very much a business person, but on the Camino, I am not like that at all. The Camino forced her into the present.  On the Camino you don’t have time to reflect on the past, you need to move on.  You can’t worry about yesterday. Tell us the story about that first day on the Pyrenees. Kimberly talks about her first experience in a hostel, and how she crossed the Pyrenees in a storm.  I somehow missed the sign and bumped into a farmer and his wife that didn’t speak English.  After some sign language communication, I realised that I now had to work my way back to where I had just come from.  I had lost all the time gained from leaving early that day.  Then the storm came!  The temperature dropped to 1 degree celsius, and then it started to sleet.  It was on June 11th.  I stumbled upon a small shack/hut but it was packed with pilgrims who were trying to wait for the storm to pass.  There was a fire in the fire place but it was still very cold.  I put on all of my clothes and ventured out into the harsh weather.  It was not a regular storm, but one hell of a storm!  Visibility was so bad that I didn’t realise that I was inthea middle of the forest.  I just kept going.  Then the magic happened.. Kimberly continued her story and as she stopped for a breath she was so very tired.  She knew that this was a sign of hypothermia but she just couldn’t go on.  Then she heard a female voice say “don’t stop here”.  She looked around to see who said that and there was no-one there.  She kept going and eventually bumped in to another two pilgrims and they made it together to Roncesvalles.  (Wow!, what a story!). 25 people were rescued off the mountain that day.  Three people suffered from hypothermia. Do you believe in Camino Angels? Oh, absolutely.   I met so many Camino Angels on this trip.   Kim tells the story of 11 strangers who were told to look out for her and to give her a big hug… which they did! What Camino routes have you walked and when? I walked the French route from St jean Pied De Port to Santiago.  I didn’t have time to walk to Finesterre, so I completed a day trip there. Now you documented your journey, is this something that you would recommend?  How did you manage to upload everything along the way? I used my phone to update my blog.  It was mainly to update friends and family on my adventure. I purchased a sim card when was in Spain.  I was constantly running out of data.  The wifi was often not strong enough to update the blog, so it was a bit sporadic. What is it about the people on the Camino that makes it so special? We all share the same experience.  We all wake up, grab a backpack, go on a walk, eat, deal with the weather.  It is something that we all go through together. There is mutual respect for people.    Did you use walking poles? Oh yes.  I could sleep with my poles, that is how much I love them! What about training? At the weekends 9two months prior to the Camino), I would live out of my backpack.  All my needs would be in the backpack. Do you remember your luxury item? Kimberly has a patch that says “Young forever”, that was given to her by her daughters.  The patch represents a song by a Korean Group.  I am learning Korean and I met loads of Koreans on the Camino, but no-one noticed the patch. I saw that you had some painful open wounds on your blog.  What caused these and how did you cope with them?  Did you also suffer from blisters? I dealt with rain for the first two weeks. I was wet for this whole period, and I was putting on wet clothes.  I was in Pamplona and my clothes had stuck to my leg.  As I stood up I gave a yell and the skin ripped my from leg.  The funny thing was that I didn’t tell a soul, I just made out that I had aches and pains.  I was taking a photo of my leg when a guy called Frank from Germany came in and said: “have you taken a picture of yourself crying yet for your blog?”.  I replied, “Why would I do that?”.  He said “If you are going to tell a story then you need to tell the whole story" Kimberly talks about the step down from Le Cruz De Fero - which was a huge challenge.  She was stuck going down.  She had to trust, she had to believe.  The story of Kimberly's friendship with a fellow Pilgrim called Heidi will certainly pull at your heartstrings. Did you have a Camino cry? Yes.  One guy approached me and said, “I don’t think you will make it to Santiago”.  He and his friends would laugh then all of a sudden the guy begins to cry.  I instinctively reached out and grabbed his hand (which was crazy as he had just insulted me).  He said “I am so ashamed, the Camino is for everyone”.  I then had my Camino cry but I realised that I needed to be careful otherwise I will ruin my Camino experience.  I can not clam up because of what I had just heard.  This guy needed to learn not to judge others, and my lesson was to not take on board other people’s judgements. QUICK FIRE ROUND Hostel or hotel? - Hostel Pilgrim meal or cook your own - pilgrim meal, Umbrella or hat?  Umbrella Music or no music? - no music Skip the mesta or not? Do the peseta Guidebook or app?  both Was the Camino everything you thought it would be? Yes and more.  Even her colleagues at work now call her Camino Kim.  I no longer carry stress as a badge of honour.  I have changed a lot, I just let stuff go. Kim shared a passage of courage with us.  Courage is not a lack of fear. Courage is moving forward in spite of fear. When you show up with courage you are making a statement that i’m terrified but I am going to do it anyway. Here is the thing. When people act courageously they sometimes get hurt. When we respond to the calling in our hearts, when we open ourselves up to our authentic lives, we also open ourselves up to url and pain and rejection and disappointment and grief and yet we persist.  That is why there is no courage without vulnerability and there is no vulnerability without courage.  The two attributes are inseparable and together they will lead you into a more authentic life. When you move towards the type of life that demands courage and vulnerability you journey into a space that costs you deep inside.  You journey in something that is greater than the sound of should. So here is my question. What scares you? What idea sounds bold and terrifying and exciting all at the same time? When you move in that direction, you move into a space that is more authentic and that is more truly you. And that is how I would summarise the Camino. (I love this!). Is that how you now feel?  Do you feel like the true you now that you are home? I do.  What I realised is that there is the business Kim and there is a personal Kim and I kept the two very separate.  When I came back from my Camino trip I thought that I need to let the two merge together. So the people at work now see the fun side of me.  I was quite surprised that my Camino blog almost went viral around my job.  I wanted to keep it quiet, but no.  I think people were just trying to figure out who I was.  When I came back I was happy to be Camino Kim. Kim mentioned her future travels. She is off to Korea early 2019. Camino, Porto to Santiago in September 2019 A walk in Australia Le Puy in France in 2020 I am allowing myself to say yes!

  In this episode, Julia from Adventure Geek interviews Milena from Norway.  The key takeaway from this episode is that it is ok to go slow.  If you prefer to watch the video version, please click play below.    INTERVIEW NOTES 1.25  Julia introduces Milena and also talks about Abel - slow and steady. 2.18 How did you hear about the Camino?  Milena's parents are Camino veterans, so it has been on her agenda for a while.  Milena needed a holiday, she needed to be alone and her dad said: "Why not go on the Camino?" 3.48   What routes did you do?  The first time was 170km, from St Jean to Logrono in 2016.  She then went back in 2016 from Logrono to Castrojeriz. 4.59 - Where are you from?  Norway.  Getting to St Jean was not easy.  It was a flight to Paris then a train to another city, then another train to St Jean. 6.40 - Do you speak Spanish? No, but people thought I did. 7.20 - When did you walk? The first time was the end of May and the second time was the beginning of August.  The weather is unpredictable but it really does not matter when you go, just do it when it fits your own schedule. 8:00 - Was the Camino everything you thought it would be?  Milena had not trained and was living in a large body.  She was not really prepared as much as she should have been.  On the first day, she took a shuttle to the top of the mountain rather than worrying about the heavy climb up the Pyrenees for €10.  She then walked down into Roncesvalles. 12:22 - Milena tells the story of her connection with Abel a 79-year-old guy from Texas.  Abel had walked many Camino's and is now 81 years old and still walking the Camino.  The story of the lemon biscuits will put a lump in your throat. 14:00 - It is important to march to the beat of your own drum.  Milena talks about the peace that walking gives her.  She hated trying to catch up with people all the time.  Once she realised that she could walk her own walk at her pace then she loved the walk.  It is just as hard for people to walk faster or people to walk slower - walk at your pace. 17:20 - We talk about the people and how the connections become very special.  Milena tells an amazing story about Karen and the cows over the Pyrenees.  (Please listen to this as the lessons are hugely valuable). 21:23 - Would you recommend walking sticks?  Oh yes!  Especially on the downhills? 23:11 - Are you a spiritual or a religious journey? - No, I am more on a "self-journey".   I learned that it is ok to put myself first.  The Camino gave me room to breathe. 24:23 - Was it scary doing this on your own?  Yes! Milena did all of this on her own.  The 2nd year she was fitter, but she was worried that she perhaps would not meet new people.  She brought less stuff the 2nd time around.  The 2nd time was also amazing.  It was totally different.  Once again Milena met some amazing people that she feels close to.  Saying goodbye to people was the hardest part and she spent lots of time crying. 31:10 - What guidebook did you use? The John Brierly Guide Book was invaluable.  Milena enjoyed this book as it was good bedtime reading. 32:58 - QUICK FIRE ROUND. What was the weight of your pack? 8kg for the first one then 7kg on the 2nd trip. Did you take anything that you never used?  Technical clothes didn't work for me.  I used wool clothes the send time. What was your luxury item?  I didn't have any.  I was told to use a baby nappy cream on my feet and it worked brilliantly.  Milena did not get any blisters (except on her hands from the poles). Would you say a sleep sheet or sleeping bag?  Sleep sheet only.  Milena had a merino wool sleeping outfit that kept her nice and warm. 38:14 - Did your Camino start when you got home?  Not really, I have been on a life journey for a while and the Camino was just a part of it. 39:55 - Where has your passion come from?  Finally realising that it was ok to be slow was a revelation for me.  The Camino gave me the spark that I needed. It's ok to be slow. 41:48 - Milena says she now knows that it is just enough to just be her.  (I love this!). MILENA'S QUOTE: "To be first" by Gunnar Roalkvam To be first There is no point in being first,to arrive alone.It won’t become fun before the rest of us arrive, anyway. Take it easy,hold my hand,and we’ll take it step by step. One time you’ll come first,be the one that thinks furthest.And before we know it,The last one’s got it right. It is possible to go ahead,without arriving first, alone.

Roncesvalles is one of the hottest neighbourhoods in Toronto, and Bandit Brewery are right in the heart of it all. We sat down with the Co-Founders of Bandit Brewery, Shehzad and Stéphane, to find out how their awesome facility came about, why they produce such a great variety of styles and how their homebrewing roots brought them together. Funnily enough, Cee and Shehzad met at a party through Cee's cousin back in 2011, so this was a great full circle moment.

David Gitlitz and Linda Davidson are the co-authors of The Pilgrimage Road to Santiago: The Complete Cultural Handbook, a work that developed out of their research and student trips over the course of three decades. Having first walked to Santiago in 1974, while Spain was still under Franco's rule, David and Linda have witnessed some dramatic changes on the Camino. They were present when the first yellow arrows were painted between Roncesvalles and Pamplona and they fondly recall never encountering pavement between Burgos and León. Their stories offer a rare look into the Camino before its modern resurgence.

In 2007, Guy Thatcher walked 700 km from Pamplona across Spain to Santiago on the ancient Celt and Christian pilgrimage trail, the Camino de Santiago. In 2012, he went to Le Puy en Velay in France near the Swiss border to join the Chemin de Saint-Jacques, one of the many European feeder routes to the Camino. He walked almost 900 km through France and over the Pyrenees to Pamplona in Spain. He was 75. He will be talking today about the life lessons he learned or relearned as he walked.·

If your Camino begins in St Jean Pied-de-Port, or Roncesvalles, or even Pamplona, then it also begins in the Basque Country. Spread across southern France and northern Spain, the Basque Country is the ancestral—and contemporary—homeland of the Basque people, an indigenous European ethnic group with a long and fascinating history. To gain some understanding of what makes the Basques unique, this episode features an interview with Mark Kurlansky (www.markkurlansky.com), author of The Basque History of the World, as well as Joxelu of Beilari, an albergue located in St. Jean Pied de Port (www.beilari.info).

Scott Worsley is the co-owner of the Film Buff, one Toronto's premiere movie stores, and gem on the Roncesvalles strip. When Barry heard that the Film Buff East at Queen and Greenwood was shutting down, he had to speak with Scott and pay tribute to an institution that had given so much joy to Hogtown cinephiles. Scott spoke with us about opening his small business all those years ago, curating Toronto's best film collection, and the virtues of art house entertainment. He also talked about championing a more personal retail experience, whether Toronto deserves to call itself a movie town, and why we need a Toronto-Montreal film summit.
