We had a lovely three days in Santiago . It's a great city! Here are a few things we did, that if you have time, are enjoyable.
Roof top tour of the cathedral. There is an English spoken tour, worth finding out the time of . Costs 10 euro and is worth it. Great views and fascinating to find out more about the history of this amazing building.
Visit the Pilgrim Museum. It's free.
Have a meal at Casa Felisa, Porta da Pena no 5 . It has a beautiful, tree filled , shady garden at the back, really pretty and restful. Good food, and not expensive.
We met annakappa and fraluchi who were working as amigos in the Pilgrim Office, and it was lovely to see them.
Last but not least, go and say hi to Ivar! Hi Ivar, it was great to see you, in your office in Santiago !
Buen camino,
Helen and John

€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
YES to Casa Felisa. I've stayed there a couple of times and we made sure to go for a meal there on our Honeymoon last year.
 
Stroll the aisles of the food market down by the university. Imagine the fun you could have with access to a stove and some pans. Buy a few bits to overload your pack while you make the final steps to the airport.

When you get home you can still eat Caldo Galego, Lentillas, Fabada, Buey Asado...
 
Buy a few bits to overload your pack
Lentejas, pimiento, esparragos, oruxo, hierbas, alubias, oliva, tetilla, tarta, and morcilla. Right up to the top of the pack!
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Don´t forget the "Pimientos de Hebron- Padron!!!!

Buen Camino!
