Santiago de Compostela

Our first view of the city and the cathedral spires came on Monto de Goza – the mountain of joy. We sang “Holy God we Praise Thy Name”, and a rainbow broke out over the city.

We fairly well bounded into the city, despite the urban slog. So many people! There are several conventions and a festival happening in the city right now, and of course a steady stream of pilgrims and tourists.

We arrived at the the cathedral at about 10:30. Praise God and Saint James!
