Day 31 Outside Vilamaior - Santiago de Compostela (8km)

At 6am I woke in thick fog and began the descent to Santiago de Compostela; I was ahead of the albergues which gave me a clear path. It was a leisurely stroll and I felt some excitement when I reached the old town of the city. I knew I was close to the Basilica and put on my victory song, The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) and sang my way to the end. This is a very tired me after hiking 757km across the country in the square before the horde arrived. I lay there for an hour before seeking out my Compostela. Pro tip: don't carry 20kg.
