Some Websites and Websearches Linking to Santiago de Compostela Topics

Someone in class asked me to post the link I could not get to work showing the reconquista.

When talking about icons related to Santiago, I showed a slide of Pope Benedict's coat of arms. A  description of that Coat of Arms and the meanings of the symbols on is at http://www.ewtn.com/pope/life/arms.asp

As with most subjects anymore, there are vast numbers of interesting websites. I once compiled a list of websites on Santiago topics, but it soon became too long and cumbersome to maintain, and with Google searches mostly it was unnecessary. A websearch strategy is easy to develop, but always remember to use the whole place name Santiago de Compostela. Otherwise the Google list will favor Santiago, Chile. It is named for the same saint and has a beautiful location but Chilean city is otherwise not very interesting for a study of pilgrimage.
