Poor bloke in the Santiago Catederal square, he has just walked arround 900 Km and there is no-one there to greet him, no fanfare, no old faces, just silence, Where are all the other pylgrims, - following the other Religion in Spain- FOOTBALL!

Poor guy :cry: ...makes me sad that he walked all that way to find the Cathedral closed up. I appreciate the fanaticism that people have for sports like football (soccer), but to CLOSE one of the holiest sites in Christendom because of a GAME?! I know Spanish national pride was in the line, but couldn't a handful of people in SDC have volunteered to miss the game and give this poor peregrino a proper welcome?

The cathederal wasn't closed, the square is normslly a busy place with many pilgrims, buskers, and street vendors, you often see new arrivals go to the centre of the square and put down their pack and reflect on what they have achieved. It is alsk a place of many pilgrim reunions.
