After walking 612 km, our group arrived into Santiago on July 23rd. The 13 of us came into the town center with guitar and song to our lady and proceeded directly to the front of the Cathedral to offer our thanksgiving. We kept tradition of the pilgrims by receiving our Compastella and visiting the tomb and statue of the Apostle.
Over the next 3 days we discovered the unique history of Santiago. On the eve of the feast of St. James, we remained in the square for a light show and magnificent light show. As a group, we celebrated a private Mass in the chapel surrounding the tomb and the next day joined the other pilgrims for a feast day Mass.
