Up bright and early - 0830 - dark until then, what a country! Walked out to my favorite church in Santiago - oops! second favorite - Santa Maria del Sar. 10-15 minute walk from Plaza Galicia away from the cathedral. Late Rimanesque Early Gothic a living example for why the buttress, flying or otherwise was envisioned. Walls too high vaults too heavy and the church began to buckle, there is not a straight wall, column, or window in the entir edifice - even the window glass has buckled. Not just for students of architecture or art this a very esthetic and beautiful church.
