Although most of the 12,000 kids participating in the PEJ were still on the way yesterday, the Compostela seethed since early morning with the groups that have anticipated their arrival. Among them, three hundred volunteers who will work in the coming days for such a human tide flowing smoothly squares, churches, halls and schools.

Although the official start of the pilgrimage will be today in the host Obradoiro Square , at six o'clock in the afternoon, and yesterday there was a dress rehearsal : a pilgrimage to the Cathedral , and a vigil presided by the archbishop, Archbishop Julián Barrio.

At Monte do Gozo, with 2400 young people from Madrid , the Colegio La Salle or the Company of Mary are some of the points where you stay most of the participants. But it will be necessary to use municipal sports centers , where about 1,500 people will stay as well as schools and colleges. In the Rosalía de Castro will sleep more than three hundred, another 450 in the pavilion and more than 200 universities in the Collegiate Church of Sar.

Two catering companies are responsible for feeding . Breakfast will be distributed at the place where they are housed and the lunch and dinner in Belvís and La Salle. To avoid endless queues they will receive the compostela in temporary offices .
