Wise Pilgrim APPMonte de Gozo — Mount Joy — was the first place pilgrims could glimpse the Cathedral spires. A new stand of trees now blocks the view. The oversized monument commemorates Pope John Paul II's 1993 pilgrimage. The modest Capilla de San Marcos provides the last stamp, and a kiosk sells cold drinks.
Halfway across the highway bridge beyond Monte del Gozo, you enter the city of Santiago de Compostela.
You do not need to enter the complex but for the sake of curiosity, carrying on down the road will take you where you are heading.Pass the outdoor gallery of a local (and gifted) sculptor of stone and cross the bridge over the highway. It is midway over this bridge that you enter the city of Santiago de Compostela but to keep pilgrims from crossing the road half way across the bridge, the sign indicating such has been moved further into the city.
