I have been in Santiago for several days now for the IBBY conference, and visited the cathedral three times, including attending a pilgrim mass on Thursday evening. The area surrounding the cathedral is like a circus, full of people and performers at all hours. I have seen many pilgrims, but only a few of them look like real pilgrims who have walked for weeks. On Monday I will take the train to Pamplona, an all day ride, and begin walking on Tuesday morning.
Pilgrimages: from Le Puy-en-Velay to Pamplona (April-May 2010), Pamplona to Santiago de.Compostela and Finisterre (September-October 2010), from Geneva to Le Puy-en-Velay (September-October 2012), and from Porto to Santiago de Compostela and on to Muxia and Finisterre (March-Arpil 2014). Camino Sanabres (November 2016), Chemin d'Arles from Toulouse, April 2018. Please see https://caminobleu.com/for posts beginning in 2019.

In Santiago, but not a pilgrim yet
