Day started with nice weather. We had our last trail side meal.
Was cold, very windy and hard driving rain for most of the walk.
Arrived at Santiago safely.
Staying at a parador. Its name roughly translates to "Hostel of the Catholic Kings" It was built to provide visitors to the cathedral a place to stay. One of the oldest hotels in Europe. Opened in 1499.
Parador is the building on the left.
