The 800-year-old cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is the site of the relics of St James the Apostle and the object of perhaps the world's greatest continuous pilgrim route, the Camino de Santiago. The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is Europe's most recent -- one hesitates to say "last" -- great Catholic church, begun in 1882 and still unfinished, but ready, now, to be declared fit for worship, turning Spain's most popular tourist attraction into what could be Europe's most visited cathedral.
It's easy to see why this visit proved irresistible to Benedict XVI ...

- 11/11/10: Proving the Pope Right Rorate Caeli:
In an act that has been almost completely ignored by the press and even the blogosphere (whether secular or religious) outside of Spain, the Spanish government decided on November 3 to ban the entry into the Benedictine-run Basilica inside the Valle de los Caidos, not just of tourists but even of the faithful who want to attend Mass. The Guardia Civil has been charged with enforcing the order, thus proving the essential correctness of the Pope's comparison of today's levels of anticlericalism in Spain with that of the 1930's.

- 11/08/10: when 200 > 250,000, by Phil Lawler (Catholic Culture):
On Sunday there were about 250,000 people in and around the Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona, cheering for Pope Benedict. There were also about 200 homosexual demonstrators, staging a foolish “kiss-in” in an attempt to embarrass the Pope. Which group gained more media coverage?
- 11/07/10: "The Botafumeiro" Jake Tawney (Roma Locuta Est):
... It is truly one of the great spectacles of Christendom. Yesterday, during the Pope Benedict's visit to the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, the famous botafumeiro was unleashed. The botafumeiro is a giant thurible measuring five feet in height - indeed the very name botafumeiro means "smoke expeller" in Galician. The tradition of swinging a large thurible at Santiago dates back to the eleventh century, but the current model first took flight in 1851. The speed of the botafumeiro tops 40 miles and hour and has an arc that reaches as much as 200 feet. If you have never seen the botafumeiro in action, the following video will be quite a treat - and the only appropriate response seems to be, "Holy smoke!"
