Cathedral

This Romanesque church with an altar of gold and silver, with carved granite symbols and pipe organ. Suspended from the ceiling is a Botafumeiro, huge incense burner (120 lbs) that is used about 13 times a year or when a pilgrim pays 350 euros. It was used long ago to counteract the stench from the pilgrims!
