Collecting the Compostella

A relaxed start to the day before going to the Pilgrim Office to claim our Compostella Certificates. Pilgrim Mass in the Cathedral was more moving and spectacular than we had imagined, with the huge Botafumeiro swung high above the congregation. The nationalities and starting points of the day's arriving pilgrims are read out, so we were the 'tres Irlandés de Astorga'.
