Es sin duda uno de los peregrinos más famosos que acogió Compostela, más que nada, por su fallecimiento en plena Catedral, según recoge el famoso Roma...

One wonders how many times something like this has happened over the years, so I immediately wondered about myth-making.
And sure enough...

Thanks Margret. WOW - dieing on Good Friday in the Cathedral that would be an ultimate end to ones pilgrimages.

Indeed. It could be the thème for an opera.

There's a Don Gaiferos restaurant in old town. I always wondered what the name was about. Thanks @mspath !

Now you have a reason to stop by! The sign shown in the reportage c.2004 hung within the old, old office at rua Vilar/ rua Xelmirez where pilgrims obtained their Compostela.
Stay safe.

One of my favorite memories from my Camino Português in 2015 was the Cruz de San Telmo, between Tui and O Porrino.

San Telmo was returning home after completing his pilgrimage when he took ill and died by this little brook in southern Galicia. A very lovely and tranquil place.
