We visited the Museo das Peregrinacions, which had a display of various pilgrimages around the world, a fantastic photographic exhibition of arriving pilgrims from a local photographer and a detailed historic record of the life of St James. We ended up spending a couple of hours wandering thru.
Further to yesterday's blog we forgot to mention that we lunched yesterday in a beautifully refurbished 16th/17th century seminary. The San Martin Seminario Mayor still trains priests and currently has 38 seminarians. They also have an albergue for arriving pilgrims as well as operating a normal commercial hotel.
A beautiful old stone building with a cloister area, huge vaulted ceilings and a peaceful quiet atmosphere. We had the traditional pilgrim lunch of 3 simple courses and wine for only 12 euros, about a third the price you would pay elsewhere.
