End of the Pilgrim Trail

We reached Santiago de Compostela late in the evening. The next morning we went to the Plaça where many pilgrims were arriving by foot or bike for the noon mass. They came from all over the world, many starting months before as far away as France. We stayed for mass and later explored the church and the old town.
