Galicia'10 visiting Santiago

After a lively night, with entertainment provided by the bells of the Cathedral (signalling not only the hours but the quarter hours as well), and the "loud fighting cats ensemble", among others, today was the day to explte all the sights of the city of Santiago.

Armed with the audioguide from the tourist information office, we learned all the secrets of the Cathedral and its construction, the old quarters, some monasteries and convents converted into museums and the distinct walks of life and society in the park of la Alameda. Of course it could not have been possible without the nutritious (and the generous portions of) galician meals (just as example... these are two half portions of cheese and meats!!).
