Day 12

Day 12 was the last day of my journey, the arrival to Santiago.

The cleaning services company from Santiago was on strike for 12days in the end of May. I have to say that when I arrived, the strike was already called off, even though you could still find some traces.

So I decided to cycle around Santiago and picking up the local newspapers I was finding in the streets.

In Obradoiro Square, some cyclist pilgrims were freaking out with my machine.

Santiago's Cathedral on the back.

Souvenir stall in Obradoiro Square. Bueno, bonito y barato oiga!

The scallop shell, the symbol and icon of the Camino de Santiago, is used in Santiago as a plate to serve its sea fruit, which is some sort of massive cockle, but much more tasty, served together with an amazing sauce. They place everything together inside the oven, and the same scallop shell keeps the whole meal warm for a long time, same as clay dishes.

After enjoying such an exotic meal, I kept the scallop shell to replicate them with my machine.

Thanks everyone for your support. Stay tuned for the news and the show coming up!
