That incense container is spectaculer - there are 8 people operating it at the end of mass during the blessing ceremony and it is operated so that the incense burner swings the whole of the width of the cathedral without hitting the ceiling of the cathedral.  Everyone was in awe when we saw it and everyone is filming it.  I have a video but I do not subscribet to U tube so I only post the picture.  The is the most spectacular show I show.  If you go to U tube maybe other people has posted it.  Also it can see a bit of it in the move "The Way" by Martin Sheen distributed early this year.   The incense is to purify the pilgrims who in the old days can be smelly and dirty walking all the way to the church.  Just about 10 km outside Santiago, there is a place called Lavacolle which means "washing your body" where pilgrims will bath in the river before entering the city.   And there is also a habilt that pilgrims burn their clothes in Finisterre at the end of the journey.  
The old church, and there are many of those along the El Camino, is made of stone I think and then mud as well.  It was built like a fortress as Portamarin is probably an important spot in the old days - a very old town.  It is perched on a hill and there are rivers running down so it is a strategic spot..

Yes I had the best Paella at a restaurant where the Pope has gone in Santiago.  It was quite a classy restaurant.  It has beautiful seafood on it.  I will find some pictures of that.  It cost us 30 euros each with wine and so on ( 14 people sharing and 1 was free).  That was the most expensive meal I had in the trip.  YOu have to watch - many prices for paella but the cheap ones will not have have the good seafood.

One night I had lamb and it was simply delicious!  Made me think of you- the lamb eaters, except they made it into a stew and not BBQ!

第一次吃海鲜饭是在西班牙， 从此以后我和JS就爱上了海鲜饭， 后来在英国还试图自己做， 但是远没有餐馆做的好。 羊肉除了烧烤， 炖也非常好吃。 照Lulu的说法， 羊肉咋做都好吃。
