Compostela prints

Compostela, even in its name, we are already warned part of that ancient mystery, which makes it, despite the centuries, the destination of a magical route: the Route of the Stars.

Talking about Compostela would not be possible, without remembering the recommendation of Gonzalo Torrente Ballester - Galician by birth, writer of the cult and famous admiral of joys and shadows - when he said that only those who had the power to enter should enter Compostela. wonder.

And she was not without reason, because Compostela, trapped in the vertiginous mists of time, like an enchanted maiden, appears and disappears every day, is lost and is found again.

It is not surprising, therefore, that if all the roads in Spain lead to Compostela, all the streets of Compostela lead to its cathedral and Plaza del Obradoiro.

Cathedral and Plaza, are that comparative Diagonal Alley where those magicians of the ways, who are pilgrims, graduate in faith and specialize in mystery.

Because faith and mystery, believe it or not, were the godparents of its curious birth, when the stars illuminated its cradle, the Llibredón forest, making it grow with the magic and consistency of the stone.

A magic that still, at the end of the centuries, catches the spirit of everyone who arrives, in the same way that its ancient stones grab the attention of moss and verdina, which are the gray metaphors that demonstrate their remote antiquity.
