Compastella de Santiago, Spain

We walked up to the great cathedral here at about 1 pm today. It was nice and sad all at the same time. The cathedral itself is huge, with three separate plazas at the three main entrances. We will try to get into the cathedral either later this evening or tomorrow, as there was a huge crowd when we arrived, mostly not pilgrims.

We had rain for our last days walk, but it was warm enough so it was not a problem. The people in the Albergue got up before 5 am and it was almost completely cleared out by 7 am when we got up. They were well ahead of us so we had a quiet walk through wooded lanes. It was quite nice.

I will add pictures, probably when I get to Seth´s. We fly to Frankfort on Tuesday. We will spend a day here in Santiago and then take a bus to Finisterr and spend a night there.
