I'm finishing my first Camino with my 83 year old father tomorrow. I want to celebrate the Camino and father's day with a nice meal. Where in Santiago de Compostela would you recommend?
My apologies for repeat of possible past posts. I did a search and did not find.
Thank you in advance, Kim
I'll be arriving in Santiago on probably the 22nd and was wondering what people thought about this meal.
My understanding is that the pilgrims meal here is a bit of an institution and one that is often overlooked.
Any opinions or information?
I was going over a journal of my last Camino and was reminded about a really unique eatery just off the plaza called , The Black Cat , or el gato negra Everything was local including the in filtered wine . No very big but welcoming. I’ve been there twice and will go again. Anybody have their...
We enjoyed staying and dining at Hospederia San Martin Pinario in 2019. As we are planning a May walk from Porto to Santiago this year we are finding that San Martin Pinario has only single pilgrim rooms available on our dates. Is it possible to stay elsewhere and still have dinner in the...
I just came across this article in La Voz de Galicia. I thought it might interest folks when they arrive at Santiago, shocked by how expensive most things have gotten.
Inflation and the general cost of living has indeed increased, and not only in our home towns and countries. It is a global...
With apologies to @JLV, whose thread I have now closed, let’s start a new Santiago restaurant thread.
Any accurate information about your favorite places in Santiago is most welcome — as I noted in my earlier post, two of my favorites, Bodeguilla de San Roque and Dezaseis, are now both...
The parador will once again offer a free lunch to the first ten pilgrims who arrive at the pilgrim’s office. The practice had been suspended due to covid. I know that in the past some have said the meals were served in the staff kitchen, but according to the article, the meal will now be served...
Hi!
I have a question about the pilgrim meals in the Parador in Santiago.
I know that pre-Covid the first pilgrims to arrive at the Pilgrims Office in the morning to get a Compostela were offered a voucher for these meals.
Does anyone know how this happens now? Or has it been discontinued...
...go in". You don't argue with Pepe.
My question for those currently in SdC, has this important bar survived the Covid troubles? Is it still run by the same family? Is the food still good quality and inexpensive? Has some ***xxx??? entrepreneur ruined the ambience by tarting it up unnecessarily?
...this is normally not big news, but in these times (when restaurants need to be closed due to the virus) it is nice to see some optimists out there.
New restaurant opens in Santiago. Very close to you exit old town by Plaza de Galicia. There are not a lot of Asian places in Santiago, so once...
Hello all. I'm going to be in Santiago de Compostela with my family--we'll be a group of five--next August, and I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to experience a queimada in Santiago?
Does anyone have any specific restaurant suggestions or experiences with booking a queimada--or...
Can anyone tell me if it is open on a Sunday?
Don't believe Googlemaps - that says it opens at 6, but it was definitely not open when we walked past on our way to the bus station just before 7!
It has become a camino tradition to eat here as many times as possible after each camino, but I've...
Everytime I've been to dinner in Santiago I've been really disappointed... I'm sure it's just been bad luck but... Please someone recommend a good restaurant for us.
I do appreciate it will be 12 October so choice will be limited but where would you recommend?
Thanks 😁
My story is that a friend and I had the free breakfast at the Parador. We were shown into a kind of back room and given the very basic breakfast, and no staff ever returned. My reaction was not one of annoyance or dissatisfaction. On the contrary, I felt like it was a very respectful...
