Day 48 - Journey's End - the city of Santiago de Compostela



Fiesta time in Santiago de Compostela!

There were lots of celebrations and street parades at this time (right & below)

One of the highlights is on the Saturday evening when there is an open-air concert in the Praza do Obradoiro. At midnight they set fire to a facade in front of the Cathedral and there is a magnificent firework display

This photo gives some idea of the size of the crucible

This is St Piran's Oratory at Perranporth, Cornwall. It was here that my pilgrimage began at the end of November 2002
