Hurricane Betsy, known as Hurricane Santa Clara in Puerto Rico, was the first North Atlantic hurricane to make landfall in Puerto Rico in 24 years. The third tropical cyclone of the 1956 Atlantic hurricane season, Betsy developed from a tropical wave on August 9 to the east of the Lesser Antilles, it developed into a 120 mph major hurricane before striking Guadeloupe. There, Betsy damaged 1000 houses and left severe crop destruction, there were 18 deaths in the territory; as Betsy continued into the northeastern Caribbean, it capsized a ship. On August 12, Betsy struck southeastern Puerto Rico and crossed the island. Damage was heaviest where it moved ashore and in the territory's central portion, throughout Puerto Rico there were 15,023 houses that were destroyed by Betsy. Multiple locations reported heavy crop damage, including Camuy which reported a complete loss of the corn crop. Hurricane Betsy was the first hurricane to be observed from the San Juan radar, resulted in the first hurricane warning on the island to be released on television.

The hurricane left $40 million in damage and 16 deaths, which prompted a federally declared disaster area. Locally the hurricane was known as the Santa Clara Hurricane. After exiting Puerto Rico, Betsy brushed the Bahamas before turning northeastward, becoming extratropical on August 18; the remnants dissipated two days to the south of Newfoundland. Before Betsy's formation, the northeastward shift of the Azores High allowed for an increase in atmospheric instability across the tropical Atlantic, which made conditions for tropical cyclogenesis more favorable in early August. A tropical wave exited the west coast of Africa on August 4. On August 9, a ship reported rough winds of force 10 on the Beaufort scale. On that basis, it is estimated that Tropical Storm Betsy developed that day about 835 mi east of Barbados; the next day, a Hurricane Hunters flight observed winds of 120 mph, which indicated that Betsy had intensified overnight. The flight reported, including a 10 mi wide eye. After maintaining that intensity for about 24 hours, Betsy began weakening, moving directly over Marie-Galante and southern Guadeloupe.

It entered the eastern Caribbean with winds of 90 mph. On August 12, Hurricane Betsy passed about 30 mi south of Saint Croix before striking southeastern Puerto Rico; this made Betsy the first hurricane to strike the island since the 1932 San Ciprian hurricane. It crossed the central portion of the island, the structure deteriorated and the eye became difficult to locate as Betsy crossed the highest mountains. On two occasions the eye dropped to the south because of the mountains; the eye became well-defined as it approached the coast, Betsy emerged on the northwest coast near Camuy at a similar intensity as when it moved ashore. The hurricane re-intensified as it moved toward the Bahamas, reaching winds of 110 mph on August 13; that day, the eye passed near San Salvador Island. By that time, the storm had increased in size; the eye reformed on August 14, becoming well-organized and attaining a minimum barometric pressure of 960 mbar. The next day, Betsy turned to the northeast due to an approaching trough.

Despite beginning a weakening trend, the pressure dropped further to 954 mbar on August 17. The eye became poorly defined, Betsy weakened to a tropical storm on August 18 to the south of Nova Scotia. Turning to the east, it became extratropical that day dissipating on August 20; when the first advisory was issued on Betsy, a hurricane watch was issued from Barbados to Antigua. Around that time, a hurricane watch was issued for Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands, upgraded to a hurricane warning; this was the first hurricane warning in Puerto Rico to be aired on television. The hurricane struck Guadeloupe with winds from 100–120 mph, which caused extensive damage to 1,000 houses; the communications throughout the territory were disrupted. The high winds destroyed upwards of 60% of the banana, breadfruit and papaya crop, which impacted the economy. Across the French West Indies, the hurricane resulted in 18 deaths and caused $10 million in damage, $3.5 million of which from crop damage.

In nearby Dominica, winds reached 69 mph. In Saint Croix, the hurricane dropped 3.20 in. In the northeastern Caribbean, Betsy killed its crew of two. Another ship in the region drifted for several days south of Saint Croix due to a damaged engine; when Betsy crossed Puerto Rico, it produced hurricane-force winds across the entire territory except in the southwest corner. Sustained winds reached 73 mph in San Juan, Ramey Air Force Base on the island's northwestern portion recorded 115 mph wind gusts; the high winds downed a significant number of trees in the island's interior due to the funneling within valleys. In Aibonito, the winds destroyed 1000 houses and damaged another 500, in nearby Comerío the winds damaged or destroyed 1285 dwellings. In Jayuya in the central portion of the island, the hurricane left severe crop damage, including a complete loss to the banana crop. However, damage was heaviest in Yabucoa near where Betsy moved ashore, due to a slight oscillation of the eye. High winds caused severe damage in a 20 mi radius.

In Yabucoa, over 12,000 people were left homeless, damage totaled $8 million. Damage was severe wher

The Riva degli Schiavoni is a waterfront area in Venice, Italy. There is a lively – albeit overcrowded – promenade along the waterfront, which sits on St. Mark's Basin, it was built in the ninth century from dredged silt and was named for the Slavic men who brought cargo to Venice from across the Adriatic Sea. Many of the boats and launches that ferry tourists from the mainland and cruise ships stop at the Riva to allow passengers to disembark close to Piazza San Marco; the market stalls that crowd the area had their start in the fifteenth century, when Slavs and Greeks moved into the area and would line the promenade to sell their meat and dried fish near the wharf. Today, the stalls are still present though meat and dried fish aren't part of the fare. What visitors will find nowadays is a variety of snacks, confections of all sorts, plenty of Venetian souvenirs for visitors to take home with them.

The North Wales Pilgrims Way is a long-distance walking route in North Wales, running from near Holywell in the east to Bardsey Island in the west. The first half of the trail takes an inland route, with the second half following the north coast of the Llŷn Peninsula, it measures 133.9 miles in length, was launched at Porth y Swnt, Aberdaron on 10 July 2014. Development of the trail started in 2011, its official opening followed a number of alterations to the original route to suit local concerns; the route, marked by waymarker disks, makes use of existing public rights of way, including sections of the Wales Coast Path, along the way it visits many small stone churches, many dedicated to key Celtic Saints, which can provide shelter and rest along the trail. Whilst pilgrims would have made their way across North Wales to Bardsey Island, known as the legendary'Island of 20,000 Saints', the trail is a modern interpretation, does not follow old routes; the Trail is a part of a part of Cadw's Heritage Tourism Project.

Dr. Rowan Williams, a Welsh Anglican bishop and poet, former Archbishop of Canterbury, is Patron of the route. An annual pilgrimage is organised along the full length of the route for a fortnight every May/June, in 2018 the North Wales Pilgrims Way Ultra - a 3-day race - will see runners competing for the North Wales Pilgrims Way Brass Shield. Since the 7th Century pilgrims in North Wales have visited four main sites – Holywell, Clynnog Fawr and Bardsey Island; the first three have associations with namely Saint Winifred and Saint Beuno. Saint Winifred was a 7th-century Welsh Christian woman, around whom many historical legends have formed. A healing spring at the traditional site of her decapitation and restoration is now a shrine and pilgrimage site called St Winefride's Well in Holywell, known as the Lourdes of Wales. Saint Beuno was a 7th-century Welsh abbot and saint. Bardsey Island has been an important religious site since Saint Cadfan built a monastery there in 516, in medieval times it was a major centre of pilgrimage.

The trail runs from east to west, starting at Basingwerk Abbey, a Grade I listed ruined abbey near Holywell and ends at Aberdaron on the western tip of the Llŷn Peninsula in Gwynedd. From here, a final part of the route, regarded as optional, is the boat trip from Aberdaron to Bardsey Island. For marketing purposes the Trail is divided into 25 short sections: 1 - Basingwerk Abbey to Pantasaph 2 - Pantasaph to Maen Achwyfan 3 - Maen Achwgfan to Llanasa 4 - Llanasa to Trelawnyd 5 - Trelawnyd to Tremeirchion 6 - Tremeirchion to St Asaph 7 - St Asaph to Llannefydd 8 - Llannefydd to Llansannan 9 - Llansannan to Gwytherin 10 - Gwytherin to Pandy Tudur 11 - Pandy Tudur to Llangernyw 12 - Llangernyw to Eglwysbach 13 - Eglwysbach to Rowen 14 - Rowen to Penmaenmawr Stone Circles 15 - Penmaenmawr Stone Circles to Abergwyngregyn 16 - Abergwyngregyn to Bangor 17 - Bangor to Llanberis 18 - Llanberis to Waunfawr 19 - Waunfawr to Penygroes 20 - Penygroes to Clynnog Fawr 21 - Clynnog Fawr to Trefor 22 - Trefor to Nefyn 23 - Nefyn to Towyn 24 - Towyn to Porth Oer 25 - Porth Oer to Aberdaron A'Pilgrim Passport' can be obtained from the Greenfield Valley Heritage Park Visitor Centre at the start of the route at Basingwerk Abbey, or from other churches visited along the route.

A total of 23 churches and other locations passed have available a passport stamp, enabling the walker to'stamp their passport' as they visit the sites along the way. Each stamp is different, has been designed by primary school children from schools along the route to reflect the ancient landmarks and legends encountered on the trail. Artist Ruth Thomas worked with Flintshire and Denbighshire schoolchildren to achieve this, whilst artist Eleri Jones worked with schools in Conwy and Gwynedd. Marketed alongside the Pilgrims Way in the counties of Conwy and Flintshire is the'Sacred Doorways' project which features churches and chapels of interest; the churches involved in the project are: In the Conwy Valley a Sacred Doorways Trail - a tourism initiative funded through Conwy's Rural Development plan - links together some of the most interesting churches and chapels in that area. These churches have a Pilgrims Way passport stamp - and there is space on the passport for them - although they are not on the Pilgrims Way Trail.

The Pilgrims Passport claims: From saints to sinners, princes to pilgrims, bards to bandits, the Sacred Doorways church and chapel trails guide you through thousands of years of our fascinating history. The four trails in Conwy are pa
