The rain in Spain

Today the sky alternated between constant drizzle and torrential rain, and Santiago looked pretty miserable. At least the streets are not marble 🙂 and everyone has an umbrella, even babies in strollers. I had a late flight so walked around as much of the city as I could without getting too wet and found a cool photo exhibition in the park with amazing pictures that capture the feeling of the people and this place. I took photos of the photos (below, covered in spots of rain 🙂 ). Not many hikers around today that I could see, and any out on the camino will be pretty wet. At siesta time (when things close for 2-3 hours), I retreated to a restaurant to read my book and have a slow lunch, then toured the cathedral museum which has a collection of religious relics dating back to the 1200s, before collecting my bags and heading for the airport. If I return here again it will be at the end of a long walk 🙂 Hasta luego Santiago.
