Today is St James day so Santiago’s main festival is in full swing, with a lot of people arriving late yesterday when the main part of the festival started. Many concerts and vans and events are taking place, and a big highlight will be Belle and Sebastian playing next to the Cathedral on Monday night, 28th July.

A nice place to dine in Santiago is http://petiscos.es/ and is next to the “Porto do Camino”, the gateway to the old area where the main French camino comes in. Host Antonio is polite and professional and his food is very good value for the quality it is.
