Within the former monastery astonishingly large and intricate sculptured forms adorn the main altar and side chapels. The adjoining Iglesia (church) is a museum and historic elements of the once powerful Benedictine order are on view - scary!
Later, serious and joyful content of the pilgrim mass at the Cathedral are enjoyed with the 'botafumerio' in full swing.
True positive European attitude and intent is evident in a very worldly Dutchman we meet at dinner. I have a link to his book and there's not much he doesn't know about travelling!
Our walking journey has brought us into contact with Dutch, German, Danish, French, Belgian, Austrian, Spanish and even Bolivian walkers. They speak English!
The camaraderie on the camino is infectious!
