The Window from the Cathedral of Burgos | Window

Carles Francino and the ‘La Ventana’ team travel to Burgos as part of the ‘La SER runs through Spain’ tour to broadcast the SER afternoons program from the city’s cathedral on the occasion of its 8th centenary.

During the first hour of the program, the archbishop of the city Mario Iceta and the head of the psychiatry service of the Burgos Hospital and regular on the Jesús de la Gándara program appear at ‘La Ventana’. In addition, we will be accompanied by the paleoanthropologist Juan Luis Arsuaga with whom we will talk about the finding in Israel of a 130,000-year-old fossil that threatens to alter human knowledge about evolution to date.

Through Rosalía Santaolalla’s report we will take a sound tour of the cathedral; and with the help of Lucía Taboada we will look at cathedrals in cinema, literature and even sports.

Humor and philosophy

The second hour of the program is starred by the linguistic gazapos that Isaías Lafuente compiles in his Linguistic Surveillance Unit in which we also review the expressions related to the churches that we use in our day to day life. Later, Jose Carlos Ruiz dedicates his section on critical thinking and philosophy – More Plato and less WhatsApp – to investigating the role of masks: but masks before being masks, before protecting ourselves against COVID, which had a completely different connotation.

The music

The finishing touch to the program is put by the Burgos group MODA (the Wonderful Alcohol Orchestra). With Iñaki de la Torre and Benjamín Prado we review some of the “cathedrals” that support his career. And it is that music has a lot of religion: artists have the power of attraction of spiritual leaders, the public the passion of devotees, songs are sometimes like prayers that lift the spirit … Musicians, from concert halls or festivals, they get people to join in communion or that we individually experience many sensations or feelings as when we enter buildings with as much history as the cathedral of Burgos. And if we say Burgos, it is impossible not to think of La MODA, the group that put the city on the map of music in Spain and to which they remain totally linked.
