Ribadiso to O Pedrouzo, 18th Sept. to Santiago de Compostela, 19th Sept.


The wooded pathway leaving O Pedrouzo.

Santiago de Compostela city limits marker.

The runway marker at Santiago de Compostela airport.


A graveyard we passed.

Pilgrim monument just outside Santiago.

Our first Glimpse of the Cathedral in Santiago.
Look closely, you can just about make it out.

Finally there after 35 days of walking. The front of the cathedral itself.

Yes, I finally made it.

A friendly Canadian couple I walked the last day with. He is originally from Wolf Tone St. in Limerick.

Pictures for inside the Cathedral.

The mechanism for the swinging incense burner in the cathedral.
There is a clear video of it here:

An unsuccessful attempt to hide my walking stick.

I walked and walked the city of Santiago de Compostela unsuccessfully looking for a place to stay. In the end I gave up and got a taxi out to Monte del Gozo, a large hostel with 400 beds outside the city. To my amazement it was more or less deserted. So I celebrated on my own. It was funny sitting into a car, not having been in one for over five weeks.
