The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela holds Mass twice a day for all of the Pilgrims streaming in from the Camino.
I have not seen a church in Europe this packed since Easter at Notre Dame.
On special occasions, they will swing the Botafumeiro (incense burner) on a large rope through the massive cathedral.
It has been in use since the 11th century. It takes six men to control it.
I had the luck to experience it today. It is quite something to behold.
