Santiago de Compostela

5/28/2019

 
Three years ago, I walked into the Praza de Obradoiro and turned to face the Cathedral of St. James.  This last day of walking the route had started with driving rain, exactly as had the first day in the French Pyrenees. Beginnings. Endings. Curious things.  The end of a very long walk - the beginning of everything else.
Picture
From Into the Thin, A pilgrimage Walk Across Northern Spain (Sept. 2020 from Homebound Publications):
​
...I walk into the open plaza, turn, and regard the iconic western façade of the Catedral de Santiago, the Cathedral of Saint James.  It is partially covered in scaffolding, undergoing cleansing and restoration; like its tired pilgrims, a work in progress.
