At 10:00 we
arrived at Santiago. We had a breakfast in a bar at the begin of the downtown, 10 minutes
from the pilgrim's office. Then we got our certification from the office, that we had
coped with the camino by feet from LEON to Santiago. 316km. We bought a tube for our
documents. Now we were CPOS, that means Certified Pilgrim of Santiago. At 12:00 a special
mess began for the pilgrims. The cathedrale was so overcrowded that they closed it at
12:00. We came 5 minutes later and missed the mess. So we didn't make this experience. We
reached Santiago but we were not there at this moment. Our souls did yet be on the camino.
The first night we slept in a part of the monestary from Santiago which was a hotel and
the second night we went to the refugio, which is in an old part of the university in
opposite to the downtown. |
