Cathedral of Our Lady

We wound our way down to the Cathedral where we saw a white statue of a boy, Nello, and his dog, Patrasche, lying in front of the church. The 1872 story is about an orphaned boy who wants to be a painter. He and his dog go to the Cathedral to see the works of Reubens, but freeze to death under the painting .
Inside the Cathedral, we admired the architecture and the paintings that featured bright reds and blues and the celebration of light on the figure of Jesus. There were two large paintings by Reubens on either side of the altar the were amazing in their detail.
In front of the Cathedral was another Camino shell as pilgrims can pass by this church on their way to Santiago. It warms my heart to see the familiar bronze shells on the ground.
Afterwards, Doug and I bought a dish of Belgium fries which came with spicy ketchup, sweet mayo and chopped onion and it was delicious!Læs mere
