The city of Santiago is welknow as a religious center and for the Santiago's Pathway (Camiño de Santiago), and this year's moto for the pride parade was "Camiño da Igualdade" (Pathway to Equality). The persons in the parade used words like "Behind each window there is a lesbian, behind each counter there is a faggot" (detrás de cada ventana una lesbiana, detrás de cada balcón un maricón") to show that gays and lesbians are everywhere and not only in the parade. The parade did a zig zag in the city including the historic center and the front of the cathedral. In some rare cases some persons shown their homofobia, and the persons in the parade where quick to wistle and shout "homofobia nunca más" (in a reference to the Prestige oil tanker accident).

After the parade a concert and party (with the support of the city hall) took place in one of the main squares of the old town right in the side of the Cathedral and in the exact place where just a couple of hours before hundreds of persons where queuing for hours to visit the building.
