Santiago de Compostela – Church
Church next to the hotel.October 13 Palas de Rei – Church of Santiago de Alba
Church of Santiago de Alba. Chatted with the priest a bit. Asked him if he got tired of listening to the music coming through the speakers. He thought that was a hoot. Yes!! Then swirled his finger around his head and said it is stuck in his head day and night! He was there to stamp the pilgrim passports.

October 9 O Cebreiro
For my Spanish-speaking friends, that’s pronounced oh-thay-bray-air-oh. Just like “gracious” is pronounced gra-the-is. Iglesia de Santa Maria Real. Dating from the 9th century and the oldest extant church associated with the pilgrim way. (Brierly guidebook)
