I was disappointed that you are not allowed to take any photos but it is a beautiful portico. To see an even better portico, that you can take photos of, head over to the cathedral in Ourense.

It was incredibly beautiful. The early roman style is well preserved. I would wait 6 hours again in the burning sun. It is totally worth it. 6 out of 5

The Santiago Cathedral. Enchanting place. Looks divine during the day or at night under the moonlight. It's been said apostol Saint James has been buried there.

Recently successfully restored to much critical acclaim the ‘Door of Glory’ is the triple-columned entrance to the Cathedral through which pilgrims traditionally arrived. Sculpted in the 12th century by Master Mateo (between 1166 & 1188), it is considered to be one of the finest treasures of the Cathedral. The Portico, the high-ceilinged porch area that is attached to the main entrance, has been restored and you can examine again the design and intricate stone carvings. The middle pillar has the statue of St. James with Crist the redeemer above & surrounded by the 4 evangelists. There are over 80 figures from the bible. The base of column has been worn by millions of pilgrims hands. The kneeling figure facing the altar is the master Mateo.
