Plaza de las Platerias is to Santiago what Spanish steps are to Rome. People will sit on
the stairs of this square to enjoy some rest and the beautiful sunshine. The square was
called Platerias as in medieval days this was the center of silver sellers. It is now a
beautiful square...

I find the story of this building very peculiar. The old town hall was located right in
front of the Cathedral but it´s rather plain facade contrasted with the splendor of the
Cathedral. They decided to built one meter facade that will match with the cathedral and
although it looks...

On the moountain road from Ourense to Couto we found this spectacular viewpoint over the
Sil River. As it is quite high we could enjoy beautiful views over the hills and the
river. We stopped there on the way to Peña Trevinca but also on the way back as the

There is long and pleasant walk down the hill from the road to get to this impressive and
secluded waterfall. The friends I went with had visited the Waterfall in a prior occasion
and said it changed in intensity depending in the weather but when we visited it was
really striking....

This place was proud to say it is one of the most visited Palaces in Galicia but it was
actually nice for us as during our visit there were not any crowds around. Originally
built over a military fortress it has been for centuries a beautiful palace with a
geometric garden, fountains,...

It was great to find that Ourense had such a wonderful and huge Old Town. Merging within
the streets you´ll find small churches, windy roads and amazing diagonal squares, a
Cathedral and really beautiful buildings. On the other hand some of the streets were not
that pleasant as...

the service was quick...
