Monument to Pope John Paul II and Pilgrims at Monte do Gozo

This famous hill is located just five kilometers from Santiago de Compostela. It receives this name precisely because it is where the pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago celebrate their proximity to the city.

@Chris 🙏🏻 I followed his tip to keep the last stage short so that I could arrive in Santiago in the morning and attend the midday mass with the cauldron swinging👍🏻 😊. It starts again in the fog, the last 10 km you keep walking on a road, only the immediate surroundings can be seen through the fog, the birds …

The 5th and final stage led from A Lavacolla via the pilgrim monument on Monte do Gozo to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela.
At 6:00 a.m. there was already so much unrest in the dormitory that I woke up. So I got ready and set off. It was even colder than yesterday and an icy wind was blowing. But …

October 4, 2023,Wanderung Mein Jakobsweg "Camino del Norte", Fortsetzung 2023, 32. und letzte Etappe von Lavacolla nach Santiago de Compostela

Finally at the destination. The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. All the hardships and the will to persevere were worth it. A moving feeling. A great conclusion was my participation in the pilgrimage mass that had just ended with the waving of the bufumero, the large incense container, through the entire nave.
