July 17: Pedrouzo to Santiago
The tall poles are for stork nests?Such ancient churches along this stretchA new kind of signpost for pilgrimsNotice the crosses made of twigs that are woven into the fence. Perhaps each one carried a pilgrim’s intention, or the remembrance of someone dear?Another beautiful gateway, though in a somewhat odd locationFinally, walking into SantiagoSantiago de Compostela Cathedral, with the inevitable scaffoldingAnother view of the cathedralThe streets are thronged with pilgrims and visitorsA view through the streets of the bell towersA rehearsal before an evening performanceThe most abused part of pilgrims’ bodies. The legend says, “Straight path, upright path”Another view of the rehearsal, flanked by the announcement that the performances on the stage are sponsored by the Santiago city councilI haven’t taken enough photos of the delicious food we ate along the Way. James likes crepes.
