5th September - Cycling Vuelta finishing in Santiago de Compostela

One of the grand tours of cycling, the Vuelta Espana concludes tomorrow in the city of Santiago de Compostela

Most of you are probably not fans of watching cycling on TV, but as the race is covered on TV in most countries it would be a good walk down memory lane to watch the vision and the helicopter views of the city

We were in Santiago in 2014 when it ended there. Very exciting.

I have been watching highlights on tv in Australia. Looking forward to today's finish.

In Sydney, Australia on SBS television I just watched the highlights of the final time trial stage from Padron to SdeC.
Saw the cathedral a few times in the background.
The main doors seemed closed and no people milling around.

I hope a door (perhaps the Holy Door) was open so people could enter the Cathedral.

These main doors of the Cathedral are always closed and have been for years. The only time they were open this year was on the 27th of July this year for the solemn mass on the saint's feast day. The Spanish King and Queen and others walked through this portal on the Praza do Obrodoiro to attend mass.
