It was strange to wake up with no alarm set & to know exactly where I would lay my head at the end of the day. It was also impossible not to walk.
So what to do? Take a walking tour, of course. This gave us the opportunity to learn the lay of the land, investigate Santiago's many Prazas (as they are called in Galicia), learn a bit of the rich architectural heritage of this fine city & see where all the fun cafes were. We also took advantage of a Cathedral Museum tour that gave us a glimpse into this historic building & even walk its outer balconies overlooking the square.
My favorite stop was, of course, the city's market. This sprawling permanent market not only houses hundreds of vendors for produce, cheese, meat, fish, wine & bread but also offers a dining hall where you can enjoy informal dining on the market's fresh items- one shop will even cook your newly-purchased fish for a few Euros. I was even able to find O'Cebreiro cheese & honey to bring back as a gift for Jeff.
It was also a pleasure to have dinner that didn't start before 6pm!
