The Apostle Santiago helped to the spanish victory in the battle nearby Clavijo against the arabs.

The legend says that the Apostle Santiago, Saint James, appeared one night to King Don Ramiro de Castilla, who was fighting the arabs during the first years of the Reconquest, while troops lying hidden behind a mountain in Clavijo. The king had a dream of Saint James passing on that Jesus had divided the Earth in several areas and He had organized King Ramiro's disciples as protegés by Him. King Ramiro had been chosen to defend Spain. Moreover, Jesus had told him, Saint James, that the King would turn out as a winner from the battle and Saint James himself would fight against the muslims. This dream was passed on by the King to his troops and lead the battle to the cry of "for Santiago and free Spain". Duly motivated they won the battle and defeated the arabs.

In Santiago de Compostela there are several stone sculptures of Santiago Matamoros riding on a white horse. The most famous is may be the one located at the top of San Martiño Pinario's monastery. Just in front of the cathedral.
