Monte Santiaguiño is a special place that few pilgrims take the time to visit. It's not really very far from the town center, but it is a bit of a climb up a very long set of stairs that are also the Stations of the Cross. But it didn't seem very difficult after so many days of walking.
There is a monument up there commemorating the spot where legend says that St James first preached the gospel in the area. It's a beautiful place surrounded by a peaceful park, overlooking the city of Padrón down below.
I felt like I was standing on holy ground while I was up there.
