Santiago de Compostela Cathedral (Galicia)

#mytraveldiary Reaching Santiago de Compostela Cathedral felt special, knowing it has been the final destination for pilgrims walking the Camino for centuries. The Baroque façade towers over the square with an almost theatrical presence. Inside, I saw pilgrims embracing the statue of Saint James, their faces filled with emotion after long journeys. The botafumeiro, the giant swinging incense burner, was mesmerizing during mass. The atmosphere here is deeply spiritual, even for non-religious visitors. Standing outside in Praza do Obradoiro, surrounded by history, I felt like part of a centuries-old tradition. #mytraveldiary
