Who discovered Santiago?

According to tradition, the hermit Pelayo discovered the tomb of the Apostle James in the 9th century, guided by stars in the sky that pointed to the place. Bishop Theodemir was informed and confirmed the discovery, and King Alfonso II ordered the construction of a church on the site, thus initiating the arrival of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago to visit and venerate the apostolic relics.
