In June, 2013, we took the inaugural EasyJet flight to Santiago de Compostela.  It would have been nice to walk there via el camino but time was not on our side. Another day, perhaps.  We stayed in Hotel Gastronómico San Miguel which is situated in the quiet Plaza de San Miguel dos Agros, less than five minutes walk from the cathedral.  It has free wifi, the best toiletries I have ever come across, lovely views and is spotlessly clean.

See your review.

This is the view across the square from my daughters room.  San Miguel is on the left, opposite is the rear façade of Monasterio San Martiño Pinario, a former monastery which  currently houses a seminary.

I had a room at the back overlooking a garden.

There was a massive fern directly below my window, which reflects the abundant local rainfall. Llovizna, as the Spanish call drizzle, dominated the first couple of days.  They say the lichen covered old buildings are at their most beautiful in these conditions.  I can almost believe it.
