EXCHANGE 2023-24: Thursday 7th March, TRIP TO SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA


 Our second day-trip was to the capital of Galicia, Santiago de Compostela. Unfortunately it rained throughout all our visit there, and although it's said that rain in Santiago is art, it wasn't very comfortable to stroll the old town under umbrellas...


Our first stop was at the Cidade da Cultura (above) to have a view of the whole city from there and visit the Galician Library and Archive (below). (Photos from cidadedacultura.gal)


Later we went to the city centre and stopped at the local market below. (Photo: Guía Repsol)


After we toured the old town up to the Obradoiro square.


In the afternoon, we visited the inside of the cathedral, walking past the tomb of the apostle Saint James.



The weather was so unpleasant that there was no opportunity of taking a group photo, but the teachers got to take some at the Obradoiro square.
