What would a pilgrimage to Santiago be without this document?

Hape Kerkeling, a well-known comedian in Germany, set out on the Way of St. James through Spain in 2001 and kept a diary that was later published as a book. In the 'Real Monasterio San Zoilo', he writes: "The enormous crucifix hangs directly above it, and for the first time, I consciously perceive that the crucified Christ is clearly looking in one direction: From our perspective, in most depictions, Jesus Christ is looking to the left. Towards the west. Towards the sunset, the night, and death. But from his perspective, he is looking to the right, to the east. Towards the sunrise and life. What appears to us as a gloomy end is, in truth, for him a radiant beginning. And without a doubt, only his perception can be considered the correct one." (Hans-Peter Kerkeling in "I'm Off Then. My Journey on the Way of St. James") Even though this cross here on the coast—which for many centuries represented the "end of the world"—is without a body, we can certainly adopt Christ's perspective as we gaze upon the endless expanse of the sea.

We are at the end of a long journey. At the dreamed halfway point. A look at the ocean and a photo.

The Pilgrims' Welcome Office is an important place for pilgrims who complete the Camino de Santiago. It is where they obtain the Compostela, a certificate that proves that they have completed the Camino de Santiago.

It is famous for being the place that, according to tradition, houses the tomb of the Apostle Santiago, making it one of the main pilgrimage destinations in Europe through the Camino de Santiago. The building is a mix of architectural styles including Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque. The Obradoiro façade is particularly impressive and is one of the most recognizable symbols of the cathedral. In addition, the cathedral features the famous Botafumeiro, a huge censer used during certain liturgical celebrations.
