Santiago de Compostela is the capital of Galicia in the north-west of Spain. The city’s cathedral contains the tomb of the Apostle St. James and since the Middle Ages pilgrims have travelled from around the world to visit it. The cathedral is truly impressive and is well worth a visit regardless of your beliefs. In 1993 it was declared a World Heritage Site.

This year is a special year as it is the “Xacobeo 2010″ – a Jubilee year. This only occurs when the feast of  St. James falls on a Sunday. On the eve of the Jubilee year a special ceremony is held to open the “Holy Gate” – which is in fact sealed by a wall and is knocked down by three strikes of a silver hammer- to mark the beginning of the Jubilee year.

The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 to separate East and West Germany. Life in East Germany was strict and very different to life in West Germany. On the 9th November 1989, the people decided that they didn’t want this wall anymore and they got together to pull it down.

Today 20 years later they celebrated this historical event with the fall of a wall of giant dominoes painted by school children and artists around the world. The result was impressive!!
