Hola!

Hola from Spain! Last time we made our way from Portugal through Galicia to the holy city of Santiago de Compestela (here’s the link to the archives). This week we’ve arrived at our final destination. Boy, did I learn a lot – for example, I had no idea Santiago de Compestela is regarded as one of the three most religious cities in the Christian world (after Rome and Jerusalem). If you want to find out why people trek to here from all over the globe, and see lots of pictures, then hop on– our ride is leaving!

We are in the Galicia region of Spain, located in the northwest part of the country. I wrote about this area last week -- including the language, the food, and some memorable cities that few Americans know about. This week we have made our way to the capital of Galicia: Santiago de Compestela. As you are about to learn, there’s much more to this place than just the region’s capital.
