Barbaro and companion arrive just behind us at the plaza of the Cathedral of Santiago. Seen on and off along the Camino since before Burgos. We had passed Barbaro on many occasions along the Camino, and he happened to crop up just ahead of us on the outskirts of Santiago de Compostela. For a terrible moment, we thought that after all our efforts to remain "ahead of the pack", Barbaro was going to beat us to our final goal! However, we pegged him back and got in ahead of him.
