“And don’t forget: the tourist says “Give me…”; the pilgrim says “thank-you”.”
Santiago di Compostela in northwestern Spain is a major pilgrimage destination for Christians where legend says that the remains of the apostle St James are allegedly interred. The millennium pilgrimage to the shrine in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is known in English as the Way of St. James and in Spanish as the Camino de Santiago. Over 100,000 pilgrims travel to the city each year from points all over Europe.
The Cathedral stands on the edge of the main plaza of the old city and is reputed to be the burial place of St James, one of the Apostles of Jesus Christ. The Cathedral is primarily built in the Gothic style with a profusion of classic details. Some of the most significant features of the Cathedral are the 12th century Portico da Gloria behind the Western façade as well as the golden shell adorning the altar which is kissed by a steady stream of pilgrims as a sign of homage.

Welcome to YES NOTERDAY.
Noterday is Yesterday’s bastard half-brother. It is your negative yesterday, the day you wish never happened, but also the day which inspires you towards a brighter future without any regrets or taboos.
Recent generations feel the world is just a little bit too safe for them. Gone are the days where the edge of the map called you forth to discover what lay beyond – technology now has it laid out before you leave the armchair.
What if you want things to go wrong and plenty of controversy? What if you want a bit of unknown in a world full of health and safety measures? What if the words “adventure travel” now conjure images of old ladies on a guided tour to Everest base camp with all the danger and real adventure neatly removed?
A bit of cheap nostalgic danger and adventure never hurt anyone.
Then what you need is NOTERDAY, budget adventure ideas for the masses at a time of global recession. But NOTERDAY isn’t just about adventure, it’s also about inspiring individuals to raise huge sums of cash for charities.
NOTERDAY is a unique media channel that challenges and inspires you to accomplish a million amazing things before you die.
“…Things to Do, People to See, Places to Go…”
“…Learn from Yesterday, Live for Today, Hope for Tomorrow…”
