  • Like the medieval band of troubadors from which it is descended Tuna de Derecho of Santiago de Compostela gathers at a tavern in a little plaza after their nightly performance to continue their singing, now just for fun.   The gathering finally broke  up at 3:00 AM.   Made up of university students, the Tuna, sings for donations to help them pay for their studies.  Often racey and very suggestive, the singers are nothing if not charming.  Must see in Santiago.  Thursday, Friday Saturday at 10:00.

  • In the pilgrims office in Santiago de Compostela where arriving pilgrims come to have the crededials inspected and to issued their certificate of having completed their pilgrimage.  Their credentials must be stamped and dated at each stop along the Camino de Santiago.  It is a very emotional time for many of them.  The line often runs down the stairs and out into the street.

  • At the market in Santiago de Compostela, perhaps the best in Galicia.  Inside are regular sellers while outside the "peasants" set up wherever they can.  Great food, great people.<br />
