¡Hola!
overflowing with joy at the edge of excitement we announce that we have arrived at Santiago de Compostela !
Emotions in not end in a crescendo by the Monte do Gozo beginning to be felt. From there ', in fact the first big thrill to see from afar the peaks of the Cathedral. Then gradually, meter by meter, the entrance to the city 'with a beautiful monument that remembers all the historical figures who came as pilgrims to Santiago.
Then the arrival in the square, and emotion that is' mixed with the rain began to fall. I saw the red eyes of all. Then a big hug with Mauritius also congratulate the company.
We stayed there ', sitting in the square in front of the Cathedral to observe the other pilgrims, let ourselves be carried away by the mind to the memories of this adventure, remember all the people who are entrusted to our prayers. I do not know how much time has passed, but it 's been a bit of eternity' savored in silence.
Then off to the "Oficina the Pelegrino" to withdraw his Compostela, the documents certifying the pilgrimage took place.
A hot shower and again we ran to the Cathedral: the statue, crypt and the tomb of St. James, the "Bota Fumero, the altar, and the Gate of Glory, and unfortunately that 'being restored. A succession of beauty and excitement at seeing all these things imagine all the Way. For a virtual tour try here.
I also had time to confess and I have entrusted to the father confessor, all your names checked on the "Your Compostela" brought from Verona. E 'was surprised and touched to see this initiative and and' Promoter in fact present to management.
due to bad weather images of the Cathedral and the square are postponed to tomorrow and hope for a better time. Now we must look for a place open to eat something, 'cause in Santiago, known of our arrival they decided to do a general strike.
you tomorrow and a hug to everyone. Ultreya!
