Aug 8, 2009 - St Jimmy’s Resting Place

It had been pretty obvious as we neared Santiago de Compostela that most of those seeking St James’ soul medicine had started their pilgrimage only a day or two from their destination leaving them in a near pristine and enlivened state to enjoy their arrival. ... Santiago de Compostela is as mercantile as any other modern ‘pilgrim’ destination such as Lourdes although it lacks the tacky jars of holy water. ... 40 pm, we had another day to pass in Santiago de Compostela so we explored the streets like any self respecting tourist would and spent a few sheckles on occasional souvenirs whilst waiting for lunch time to arrive. ...

Oct 4, 2007 - Santiago De Compostela, Spain

I fall asleep in the bus from a grey hazy polluted Porto and wake up to a bright clear blue sky as we approach Vigo in Spain. There was no kind of border check at all ! Due to the cleaner air I am immediately endeared to the small elevated breezy old city of Santiago de Compostela, destination of pilgrims walking the 800 km Camino de Santiago from France across the top of Spain. ... I have a divine room in the attic of a restored old building very close to the main plaza and the church.I fall asleep in the bus from a grey hazy polluted Porto and wake up to a bright clear blue sky as we approach Vigo in Spain.

Slipped away from Leon while no one was looking and four hours later found myself in the sparkling gem of northern Spain.Santiago de Compostela. ...
