From this mountain it was said, the pilgrims burst into tears when they saw the towers of the Cathedral of Santiago drawn, hence its name. Tradition also says that the one who saw them first was named "King" and that many Spaniards with that last name have it for this reason. In any case, all these traditions are very far from the huge holiday city built for Xacobeo 93. Even so, it is worth getting close to the sculptures and seeing Santiago at our feet.
