Tired, sweaty, drowsy, facing the steep slope of the Via Sacra, which runs along the wall of the Convent of San Paio Antealtares. Raise our view. There it is!

But at last our eyes are closed the culmination of our dream: the Cathedral, the epilogue of our Camino de Santiago.

Because nothing better to contemplate Santiago to climb the Monte do Gozo, where medieval pilgrims chanting the Te Deum in view of the skyline of the city. From there, five miles separate us from the porch. From there, the president of St. Peter will take us until the best known of Santiago: the Porta do Caminho, one of the seven entries that had the ancient wall. So cross surprised that a city changes over the streets, because Santiago is clearly divided in two: the new part of the former. A vital, and youthful atmosphere of authentic historical virtually taken over by the pilgrims.
