Hi everyone,

I visited Santiago de Compostela as a tourist many years ago (back in 2013). Next month, I'll be walking the Camino Francés from Ponferrada.

I was wondering if Tienda Rosario Rey, a jewelry store, is still open. If anyone knows if it's still operating or has closed permanently, I'd really appreciate the information.

Buen camino!

Unfortunately it’s closed or it was when we were there in 2022. At that time they had a small shop window to try and sell the rest of their goods and then it was finishing. Very limited stock of both jewelry and tshirts. That was our experience in 2022. None of their previous shops were open. COVID seems to have taken it’s toll!
Buen Camino

I too was rather sad to see the shops closed but I believe I found a worthy alternative last year.
At Rua do Vilar called Peregrina a Compostela.
No website , only Instagram.
Products made by local artists. Quality T Shirts.
No plastic to be seen .

According to their website the store is temporarily closed.
They do online business only at the moment.

I was disappointed to see that it was no longer there last year when I was in Santiago. I have always loved their designs - not the same as in every other store in Santiago!
