Hi Eddie! So happy to see you are here on the message board again. ... Being in Galicia again is heavenly. We were in Santiago for the 25th too. Lots of bagpipes! The light show on the cathedral was also very, very Galician. It was wonderful. Viva la cultura celta en Galicia!
The last time I was back there for the Festivities, Sofia aand Juan Carlos were there. It was a Jubilee Year (as is 2010). The Plaza (del Obradoiro) de Espana was full and the Police kept moving the Barricades back until they had pushed me off the Plaza. Security was tight! There was no way to get into the Cathedral. So I watched a group of Tuna Universitaria a while, almost got my pocket picked, and went back to my Hotel, to watch the fireworks on TV Galicia.
A friend (retired Phila. Firefighter) named Roberto Ramos was trying to get me to go to Lugo where he had relatives. Unfortunately, I believe he passed away. Have a great time there in Galicia!!
