Big Feels & Stone Walls

#summervacay The cathedral in Santiago de Compostela is the moment. Even if you're not doing the whole Camino pilgrimage, stepping into that plaza and seeing this giant, dramatic masterpiece hit you in the face, it's goosebumps city. The vibe is heavy in the best way. Pilgrims crying, hugging, laying on the ground like they just finished a marathon (which... they kinda did). The outside is all detailed stone and towering spires, super impressive. But the inside? Whoa. It's massive, golden, and full of history. You can actually hug the statue of St. James (yep, it's a thing), and if you catch the botafumeiro swinging during mass? Full-on chills. It’s like a giant incense-swinging spaceship. Even if you’re not religious, it’s got this ancient, peaceful energy that makes you wanna whisper and walk slow. Total main character moment. This cathedral isn’t just a church, it’s a whole mood, a destination, and honestly, kinda unforgettable.
