1/20.- Welcome to Santiago de Compostela !!!
Welcome to Santiago (Galicia, Northwest Spain),
the city where, according to a legend, the remains
of the apostle Saint James were found. Nowadays
Santiago is the second Catholic Pilgrimage center,
after Rome.
Since the 12th century, when the Cathedral
you see in the picture was built, thousands of
Pilgrims have completed the pilgrimage to this city, among others Francis of Assisi, pope John Paul II
and Shirley MacLaine.
We are now in front of the Cathedrals main
facade. If you come with me I will show some of
the most interesting sights in Santiago, and explain
you everything you need to know about this
Pilgrims Progress, or "Camino de Santiago".
