Urban growth around the Santiago cathedral - detailed history

Too many and too often!
Just came across an interesting article on the history of the cathedral and its surroundings. A detailed description of changes over time since the founding of the cathedral and how local conditions shaped the later plan of buildings and plazas.

 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
This looks so interesting. I look forward to reading it, just as soon as I figure out how to work Google Translate.
I use Google Chrome as my browser. It handles translations automatically and usually does a decent job with Spanish and Galego. Not perfect but intelligible. Almost miraculous to watch it make passable English from a page of text in Japanese!
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

It worked! Thank you so much! Now I’ll have a good read; of that, and a bunch of other stuff. 😊😊

Glad to hear it :) It really is an extraordinarily powerful tool. I regularly read articles posted on Japanese websites, Spanish and Portuguese news articles, and the occasional exotic thing from places like Lithuania. The translations are not perfect - or at least they sometimes appear quite clunky in English to the ignorant monoglot reader like myself. But they are usually good enough to carry the meaning and that will do for me!

Another useful article from the same source today. This time focussed on the Romanesque period of the cathedral in Santiago.

Hello, I'm not doing the Camino (yet), so I don't know if this question fits in this forum... But I'm looking for advice and I think this is the best place. I'm planning a three or four days trip...
A nice read 🙏🏻 https://www.elcorreogallego.es/santiago/2024/06/04/historia-trampillas-techos-casas-rua-vilar-nova-santiago-103321171.html
I haven't done a live feed on this last section of my camino from home in Ireland which I started back in 2021 - but quire excited to reach SdeC tomorrow on 6th June!
