Hello friends,
I am back from my walk: Back in the Arctic, but three weeks in Creete awaits me from Saturday
I just wanted to give you some advice on staying in Santiago: I was fortunate to find Mr. Jose Ramon and his mother, two very kind and helpful people, who provided me with a very comfortable stay in the centre of the old town of Santiago, in a single room, for only 30 Euros/night. Doubles I think go for 40. I even had a balcony with a view to the bell tower of the cathedral. Also a complete kitchen + closed terrace with good chairs +++ Hot water showers & toilets, flawless.
If you are in need of accomodation in Santiago, I recommend the following: In Rua Vilar (where the pilgrim office is located at the start of the street), walk down the street and enter a tiny fruit shop near the end, on your right hand. Say hello from Alex. They will provide you with great, old-fashion style accomodation in the heart of Santiago, for a very reasonable price.
Jose Ramon speaks English fluently (perfect, actually, having been brought up in England), and his mother does a good job as well. They will do laundry and help you as best they can.
This is no advert; just a kind advice for a nice stay in oldtown Santiago. Very close to the best tapas bar in Santiago, in Rua Castro.
