Charles V and the duke's body place a dynastic connection within the walk through Bruges's churches and memories.

You walk into Spaniards' Street, reserved for the nation, where Castile's wool was stored, and meet the Spanish humanist Juan Luis Vives, who moved here to escape the rotten fish of Leuven and never went back to Spain, and his mother-in-law, the heroine of one of his books.
Canals and squares are comfortably close together, but the cobbles have their own requirements. Wear comfortable shoes and step aside to admire a façade when somebody needs to cycle past.
