The legend of the Cockerell and rooster means there is still a "gilded cage" where the birds are kept. Understated by some of the better known cathedrals but none the less special. A beautiful building in totally beautiful surroundings. An interesting cathedral. Maybe not as spectacular as some of the other Cathedrals along the Camino de Santiago route but still well worth a visit. You also get to go up to the Bell Tower with your entrance ticket and enjoy the views over the city, the surrounding countryside and hear the Bell sound if you're lucky! As regards the cathedral, it is medieval in romanesque style with a Latin Cross, although it was reconstructed in early modern times. It also has a Gothic ceiling and live chickens are kept in a coop in the southern section, in line with the local legend. Not just another beautiful cathedral. This one has wonderful multilingual displays explaining what every item is, and what it meant to the people who made them centuries ago. This really helps you feel like a participant rather than a mere onlooker. Holy mass in the cathedral is held only on Saturday at 20:00. On the other days it is usually is Ermita de la Plaza Beautiful artworks, old and new plus the two live chickens in their coop. It's a story of the Camino with zombies and miracles, what's not to love? A church that is a legit museum! And there are chickens. Be sure to climb the tower, it's totally worth it The Ermita de la Plaza audio guide caught my eye and listening to it brought me closer to the significance this area. Beautiful.
