Why  should a pilgrimage site be architecturally impressive? Its 
significance  is its history and its associations.  Architectural 
splendour can  divert attention away from inspiring the pilgrim to ponder 
on that, thus  missing the point.  (I understand that in Hebrew "sin" 
means "missing  the  mark",)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
 
I'm with you 100%.  My point was that Europeans who are so used
to monumental church structures may expect something more than
the present cathedral which is a rather unadorned Romanesque 
with a fantastic baroque facade, and especially so since a number
of the towns on the route to Santiago have very impressive churches.
