Santiago de Compostela – First visit
Santiago de Compostela – First visit
Old City
I felt sorry for being so short in time for Santiago.
Its maze of narrow streets with churches and palaces deserved a full day… at least.
A reason to return!
Cathedral

This is my first visit to Santiago de Compostela, but I loved the city. Its main attraction is the huge cathedral that drags thousands of pilgrims each year, but I think that, arriving so tired they can’t appreciate the place. I did, and wish to return with more time. The cathedral is started in the 11th century, and it is today a very beautiful complex with many adding and embellishments, from different epochs and styles. It deserves much more time than the few hours I could spend there.
Organ
The cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is the biggest Romanesque church in Spain, and it has a very austere look inside, contrasting with the architecture.
The most remarkable exceptions are the choir and the magnificent organ.
Congreso hotel – A perfect choice
Congreso hotel – A perfect choice
After several attempts to find the perfect combination of quality, price, good access to Santiago and easy parking, this **** hotel promoted at the price of two and with free parking was the final decision.
Well done! The hotel is good, parking was easy, and 5 minutes driving took us the the historic area.
