Santiago de Compostela, World Heritage City and capital of Galicia, is the final
landmark on the St. James pilgrimage route. Centuries of splendour and
development have left us an urban layout in which the medieval Christian
heritage is mixed with monumental Baroque buildings.
The centre of the city is the Plaza del Obradoiro, which has important
monuments, including the Cathedral. Its current Baroque façade gives way to a
Romanesque doorway from the original building, the Pórtico de la Gloria, created
by Master Mateo in the 12th century. Inside, Romanesque and Gothic elements
alternate with other Baroque style decoration. In the Cathedral you have to
follow the tradition: bump your head on the figure of its creator to obtain
prudence and wisdom. At the main altar, a bust of the Apostle Saint James awaits
your embrace. Another tradition is the waving of a huge incense holder, "El
Botafumeiro", in the main transept, which even reaches the vaults.

I wanted to write and tell you how much my mom and her sister's enjoyed
their trip to Spain. The driver was OUTSTANDING. They were so impressed
with him that they went on and on about how great he was. The Paradores
were lovely for them and they really enjoyed every day of the trip...
