    Pilgrim House re-opening Monday August 17

    I’m so glad to see you’re reopening! I will never forget the warmth of Christmas Eve with you last year, and the joy of stepping out afterwards into the silent streets of the old town just an hour before Christmas fell. Wishing with all my heart that I could walk back into Santiago this year...

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    I think we have a plan! Love it!!

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    I usually make a point of having cava in the bar at the parador whenever I visit Santiago...it’s my ritual. Nothing says it can’t bookend a fancy dinner! Shall we?

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    Yes..,I may email them to ask. Walking in on 24/12, a Christmas Eve compostela and dinner at the parador...this is sounding like one amazing day!

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    Oh, what a terrific idea. I feel that tinsel may also be in order... On another note, I emailed San Martin Pinario and it’s closed Christmas Day. The Parador is open (a stay is not cheap😫) but that may mean the restaurant is open...

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    Thanks so much for this, Faith...iI’ll definitely come and visit the Pilgrim House again! Love the idea of the pilgrim Christmas party too: I can imagine you meet just about everyone who’s still in town! Also making a mental note re China Ming on generat principles!

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    😁. Thank-you...that’s so kind! I’ve tentatively booked a little hotel that does have a bar, but it’s hard to know if it will be open throughout. (I was in Vancouver for Christmas a couple years back and the hotel’s three restaurants were closed on Christmas itself...) I’m going to look into the...

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    Thanks - this is really good advice!

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    This is a great idea...and a nice challenge! Last year, on Halloween, a couple of Camino compadres and I went on a(n ultimately fruitless) search for a mythical Indian restaurant in the newer part of Santiago...maybe it’s waiting for me yet! I’ll keep Malik bistro in mind too: sounds very...

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    I hope it will be a very different experience - it will be my sixth but definitely shortest Camino! I’ve booked a little hotel room with a view of the cathedral bell tower (😎) and i’m Happy to take my chances, but it will be interesting. Some things I’ve eead suggest restaurants will open...

    Christmas eve / Christmas day in Santiago

    My plans for a short Christmas camino are firming up pretty nicely, but I'm interested to hear the experiences of anyone who arrived in SDC on Christmas eve, or was there through Christmas eve and Christmas day. Were there any restaurants / bars open at all? Do I need to plan to visit a...

    Laundromats

    SC18 on Rua de San Clemente might be the fanciest laundromat I’ve ever come across... just a stone’s throw from the cathedral, good free wifi, and very peaceful. Good coffee nearby too.

    When in Santiago...

    Last year I broke my toe in Finisterre, slightly curtailing my adventures when the bus brought me back to Santiago, and validating a definite gear change. These were my favourite things over those few days... - Definitely the rooftop tour of the cathedral: there's usually one English language...
