As we walked through both Portugal and Spain, evidence of its early inhabitants is everywhere. Regularly, our path took us on where ancient Roman roads once were. We crossed bridges built when Rome occupied these lands.
Even more common are the structures built during the Middle Ages from great cathedrals to bridges where one can imagine knights of old on horseback crossing.
Most impressive are the cathedrals, many begun around 1300, that took hundreds of years to completely finish. The cathedral in Santiago, our finishing point, was one such structure that easily overwhelms even the most sceptic observer.
