Too many and too often!
Just came across an interesting article on the history of the cathedral and its surroundings. A detailed description of changes over time since the founding of the cathedral and how local conditions shaped the later plan of buildings and plazas.

 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
This looks so interesting. I look forward to reading it, just as soon as I figure out how to work Google Translate.
I use Google Chrome as my browser. It handles translations automatically and usually does a decent job with Spanish and Galego. Not perfect but intelligible. Almost miraculous to watch it make passable English from a page of text in Japanese!

Glad to hear it :) It really is an extraordinarily powerful tool. I regularly read articles posted on Japanese websites, Spanish and Portuguese news articles, and the occasional exotic thing from places like Lithuania. The translations are not perfect - or at least they sometimes appear quite clunky in English to the ignorant monoglot reader like myself. But they are usually good enough to carry the meaning and that will do for me!

Another useful article from the same source today. This time focussed on the Romanesque period of the cathedral in Santiago.
