I run most mornings through Parque da Alameda before work, and the hilltop park is still my favourite place to show people the cathedral from a distance rather than up close. On camera I explain how the park's eucalyptus avenue was planted in the nineteenth century and point out the two towers of the cathedral rising above the old town rooftops. I also take viewers out toward Monte do Gozo, the hill where pilgrims traditionally get their first view of the spires. I like showing Santiago from the outside in, since most sessions only ever go the other way.
