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.
