Cathedral De Santiago de Compostela, Santiago de Compostela

The whole cathedral area is a buzzing place, full of laughter and joy, with people having successfully completed their chosen walking routes and glad and proud to have made it to their destinations. Were lots of people, but not so many that there wasn't space between. A brilliant atmosphere with lots of restaurants and bars to enjoy and take in the beautiful and ancient surroundings. The cathedral was closed when we arrived, so we didn't go inside, but it is as impressive as you would expect. We were only passing and took the opportunity to visit, so were not disappointed at not being able to go inside. The museum is next door and 6€ to visit,so we didn't. But only because we were mid-journey. The city centre was equally buzzing and there music in the streets during our stopover in August. We were tempted to stay overnight. Maybe we'll make another trip there one day 😁

What a beautiful place to visit and the atmosphere around the cathedral was amazing. There was singing, dancing, music, love, happiness and tired faces. The cathedral was absolutely stunning as were the buildings around it. With some magnificent views of the old town.
