      It is possible to do a tour of the roof of the Cathedral. The place to book is at ground level beside the complex of staircases to the main western door. If you cannot get an English tour it is well worth while taking a Spanish one. The views...

      Look for albergues that have kitchens, (not all do and sometimes there will not be that option. I think that Gronze.com gives the best kitchen facility descriptions) and go to the store and buy food for dinner and lunch the next day and carry...
