After over a month on the trail, 00:00:00
spirits are high as well-worn pilgrims 00:00:02
reach their final stop, 00:00:04
the city of Santiago de Compostela. 00:00:06
Santiago has long had a powerful 00:00:09
and mysterious draw on travelers. 00:00:11
This neat and sturdy city is built of granite. 00:00:14
Its arcaded streets are a reminder 00:00:17
that winters here are cold and wet. 00:00:19
Strolling across its squares and under its grand churches, 00:00:22
you can imagine a time when the city 00:00:25
was a religious and cultural powerhouse. 00:00:27
Santiago's heyday was the 12th century, 00:00:33
when the notion of Europe was still in its infancy. 00:00:35
It was a place where people from all corners came together, 00:00:37
shared ideas, and then dispersed. 00:00:41
In some ways, the very idea of Europe as a civilization 00:00:43
gelled during this age, 00:00:46
and Santiago played an important role. 00:00:48
Apart from all the pilgrim action 00:00:50
and its venerable architecture, 00:00:52
Santiago is a workaday town. 00:00:54
Its vibrant market offers a fine opportunity 00:00:56
to sample the essentials of its hearty cuisine. 00:00:58
Farmers sell their produce. 00:01:01
The shapely cheeses are enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. 00:01:03
And the seafood is fresh as can be. 00:01:08
A Galician specialty is octopus, 00:01:12
prepared local style, or a la Galega. 00:01:15
After the tenderized octopus is boiled in a copper pot, 00:01:18
it's snipped into bite-sized pieces. 00:01:21
It's topped with a mix of sweet and spicy paprika, 00:01:24
sea salt, and olive oil, 00:01:27
then served on a wooden plate. 00:01:29
Eat it with toothpicks, never a fork. 00:01:32
People here have their own distinct language, Galego. 00:01:36
It's a mix of Spanish and Portuguese. 00:01:40
Galicia's ancient Celtic roots 00:01:42
are particularly evident in its music. 00:01:44
With wailing pipes and thundering drums, 00:01:47
the Celtic heritage announces itself loud and clear. 00:01:49
But nothing can distract the pilgrims 00:02:02
as they take the final steps of their long journey. 00:02:05
Around the last corner, 00:02:08
they reach the destination of 1,000 years of pilgrims, 00:02:09
the cathedral that holds the tomb of St. James. 00:02:13
As millions of weary yet exhilarated pilgrims 00:02:17
have done before them, 00:02:20
they stand before the cathedral 00:02:21
and are filled with jubilation. 00:02:22
But the religious climax for many 00:02:25
lies within the cathedral. 00:02:32
Imagine you're a medieval pilgrim. 00:02:34
You've just walked 500 miles. 00:02:36
Your journey is done. 00:02:38
Worshiping before the altar, 00:02:41
you give thanks to St. James for a safe passage, 00:02:42
and you reflect on the lessons of your journey. 00:02:45
And if you're here on a festival day, 00:02:50
the mass culminates with an enormous swinging incense burner. 00:02:52
Gazing at the spectacle of this 120-pound burner 00:02:59
flying through the air, 00:03:02
you're awestruck by the wonder of God. 00:03:03
Finally, you climb the stony staircase behind the altar 00:03:18
to the statue of St. James, studded with precious gems. 00:03:21
Embracing him from behind, 00:03:25
you take a moment to celebrate your spiritual or personal triumphs. 00:03:27
