Camino de Santiago

From the 21st to the 25th of March I went to the Camino de Santiago with my friends and two teachers from the highschool. I decided to do it because I wanted to meet Santiago de Compostela, its cathedral and the Galician landscape too.
We only did about 70 kilometres because we went for five days and we hadn't got enough time. We did four stages: 

  • From Palas de Rei to Melide.
  • From Melide to Arzúa.
  • From Arzúa to O Pedrouzo.
  • From O Pedrouzo to Monte do Gozo and to Santiago de Compostela.
The travel was fantastic! We ate a lot of delicious food like "raxo", squid and sandwiches...we needed energy because we did much exercise. I think that's funny to see us sleep at ten o'clock (it's very early!), we were really tired.
While we were walking, we talked, we sang... we laughed a lot. We have spent a very good time!!
The cathedral was lovely and enormous, the organ's melodies were incredible. When we saw the Botafumeiro I thaught that it could fall on us, it's wonderful! Santiago de Compostela was very beautiful, you can see its beauty in these pictures:
