This is a nice area to walk around with a view of the city. There is plenty of grassy areas and trees, statues and plaques. It is a nice place to rest before walking down into Santiago. If you are not walking the Camino, then it is a nice area to walk up to. Pope John Paul II held Mass here.

Coming to the top of Monte do Gozo and seeing the Cathedral in Santiago for the first time after walking for 5 days to get there was a great feeling. The statues of the pilgrims pointing the way to the Cathedral is great and we couldn't help taking a photo doing the same thing. It's all downhill from here (literally not in a bad way) and into Santiago for the last few kilometres of the long trip.

We had the room changed twice. One because the bathroom was full of pee and the second because we had cockroaches in the room. It's the first time in my life that I find myself in a dirty bathroom, not even in a Shared Hostel has happened a dirtier situation than this .. DISGUSTING and the price is not even low
Breakfast not even the comment not to overdo it I just say that it comes 14 euros for canteen food

I thought the path took you to Monte do Gozo, but you have to separate a little to see the perspective of the city. However, the fog didn't let me see anything on either of the two days I passed here. This place was below my expectations

Stopped here en route to Santiago on the camino. The monuments are interesting but I think just taking the time to chill on the mountain side before heading into the old city was the best part of this place.

Arriving at the Mount of Joy was something I looked forward to because the other time I had seen it was 9 years ago, driving by it from airport to Santiago. This time, I was a pilgrim. Construction tape around the monument took a teensy bit away from the initial viewing, but, not enough to curb my Tears of Joy. The weather accommodated our view towards Santiago. Seeing the cathedral spires was exciting, knowing that we would be in Santiago within a couple of hours, in time for a Pilgrims Mass to celebrate our journey.

We stopped at Mount Gozo. Storms were threatening and the monument was roped off with construction tape, so there was not much fun in the monument.
What we did like was the adjacent historic chapel of St. Mark. The little chapel was more impressive than the monument. It appears to be of the medieval period. It may seat twenty five people, Max. We were able to go inside and rest a bit.
Be sure to stop by while on the Camino.

This is one of the landmarks experienced at the end of the Camino about 3 miles from the city centre. Interesting piece of sculpture, older church, nice rest stop.

Monte do Gozo (Hill of joy) is the last hill on the Camino de Santiago before reaching Santiago de Compostela. From this hill the pilgrims can see the three spires of the cathedral for the first time. On top of the hill there is a modern religious sculpture and a park, but the place is not that impresive.

Hola, voy a asistir al concierto de Imagine Dragons del 11 de julio pero no he podido conseguir entradas para zona gold y la verdad, no tengo muy claro dónde situarme una vez hayamos entrado teniendo en cuenta que vamos con mi hija de 12 años que quiere estar lo más cerca posible de sus ídolos. ¿Cuánto tiempo sería recomendable ir con antelación? Gracias!!
