The Iberian Wandering - Day 11: Santiago de Compostela

Another driving day today, we made it to the city of Santiago de Compostela it's on the hotel is not even 400m from the cathedral. 

Parking is difficult in the city so we are paying for parking.  8 Euros/24 hrs.  Not bad, considering.

The hotel Wi-Fi isn't great and our cellular access is poor there.  No matter, we found other places with better signal, one of them being O'Galaico where I'm writing this while awaiting the dinner hour.

Around 4 pm we ventured out to do some exploring, we found the Cathedral easily but ended up also going in and taking pictures. It was raining all afternoon soon after we arrived.

The art museum which faces the front of the Cathedral and main plaza.  Some AI editing to remove the kids' carousel in front.

Near the building where the pilgrims check in for their final stamps signifying the completion of their "Camino"

The symbol of the Camino, the shell, can be found in many places near the Cathedral and of course guides pilgrims along the routes.

Santiago or Saint James

In case you're unfamiliar with the Camino de Santiago: LINK

More exploration tomorrow in hopefully drier weather though it's not looking good.
