👍👍 La plaza es fantástica, es inolvidable entrar en la plaza y ver la fabulosa fachada de la catedral. Por dentro es un lugar increíble, lleno de historia, lo único que no me gustó fue que antes era gratis visitar toda la catedral, las catacumbas...todo.... Y ahora te piden dinero por ver cada cosa .

Con razón Rosalía de Castro le dedico todo un libro de poesías, "En las orillas del Sar". Hay de todo: puentes, bosque, senderos de madera, de piedra, canales con agua.

👍👍 The Convent of Santa Clara is a cloistered convent of the Order of Poor Clares in Santiago de Compostela, opposite the more discreet Convento do Carmo de Cima.
