Episode 74: Santiago de Compostela

Episode 74: Santiago de Compostela

After walking for 39 days to get there, Nick and Wendy talk about the Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela: the Celtic atmosphere, the historical architecture, and going up to the rooftop of the cathedral. The episode comes with a worksheet containing a transcript of the conversation, analysis of the best vocabulary, and discussion questions to help you make the most of the conversation.
