We finally reached the most western point of our trip – the city famous for being the finishing point for the thousands of pilgrims who walk the Camino de Santiago. We walked into the busy old town to the Cathedral which was full of people, many of them clearly very tired pilgrims.

A service was in progress when we walked through the beautiful and huge cathedral – there was standing room only!

There was a museum in part of the same building which was well woth the visit. It held the Cathedral Treasury, the Chapter Library, a large display of tapestries (some by Rubens) and, most importantly, it claims to hold the remains of St James (Santiago in Spanish)
