Santiago riding down the waves

[Karen Mallory]

Dear Pieter,

As I was planning my start on the Camino, I heard a variation of your story.
I can't remember where  or from whom I heard it but it also involved a
nobleman (of course) but this one rode too close to the edge of a cliff and
fell into the ocean.  As he was struggling,  St James rose out of the water
on his horse - covered with shells - and carried the nobleman to safety.
According to this story, it was somewhere on the northern coast.

Sorry I can't source it for you but it is interesting that it is
substantially the same story but   heard it 3000 miles away from where you
are.
