Introduction

route to Santiago de Compostela was one
of the most important Christian pilgrimages during medieval times
and lot of people travel today by walking, by bike, and horse....for
different reasons: religous, cultural, leisure ... There are
different Roads to Santiago, but the French Way, English and
Portuguese Way are the most popular. Previously people used to
sleep in the cathedral; to prevent odors used a censer. Currently
the censer "botafumeiro" works on special occasions, to see it work
