I've arrived in Santiago 8 times before but I usually arrive in the afternoon. Yesterday's plan went haywire and I ended up walking a massive stage to Lavacolla, just 10 km from Santiago. This a.m. I was up and out early bringing me into Santiago already at 8.15! Since the Pilgrim's Office only opens at 9.00 in the winter I ended up being second in line which made me eligible for a free lunch at the Parador !
Three out of the 10 (including me) are vegetarian so they offered us a lovely lunch of Pumpkin soup, vegetable paella, wine and Torta de Santiago! It was a nice way to end the Camino. We were an international group of Finns, Germans, Spanish, Korean and Dutch.
I was lucky to miss the rain early this morning, now the wind and rain are pounding the streets of Santiago!
