Santiago de Compostela Warnings Or Dangers

1 more image

No nos vamos a engañar , en Santiago llueve .
Pero tenemos que mentalizarnos para disfrutarlo con lluvia o sin lluvia , pues si no nos quedaríamos aburridos y llenos de musgo como lo están algunos de sus edificios , aunque por ello no dejen de estar más bonitos
Mis recomendaciones son .
- Lleva buenos zapatos , paraguas y chubasquero
- Pasea bajo los soportales
- Disfruta el colorido de las calles y de los edificios cuando están húmedos
- Quizás la más importante : Haz planes aunque haga "bueno"


We are not cheating each other , it rains in Santiago.
But we must make our minds to enjoy with or without rain , because if not we should be bore and full of moss as are some of their buildings, although this does not stop to make them even most beautiful
My recommendations are.
- Take good shoes, raincoat and umbrella
- Walk under the arcade
- Enjoy the colourful streets and buildings when they are wet
- Perhaps the most important: Make plans even "if the weather is good"

Early one evening, Fernando was studying at his faculty building to wait for a friend of his, also named Jesús, but a different one. Fernando went ahead of me and it was raining at a pretty good clip. I followed 30 minutes behind. I could have taken the coach or just stayed in the flat, but Fernando had made frequent reference to my age and my weight. That was effectively throwing down the gauntlet, so I was determined to meet his challenge in style. I walked for a bit over a mile in the rain, which was a downpour by then. In the old town, there were sheltered sidewalks I could duck into. However, the lion's share of the way was all wet. It took me about 45 minutes to make the trip from Fernando's flat to the university. The only time I was wetter was the previous year when Luc and I got caught in a sudden thunderstorm at King's Dominion. This is one example of how rain showers can happen with no warning at all. Don't do what I did and get caught without your umbrella. Frequent rains are why the Galician countryside is so green.

If you're used to the warm waters off the Outer Banks of North Carolina or tropical beaches like I am, the waters on the beaches of Sanxexo and La Lanzada will come as a cold shock. I mean, you'll wonder if the ice truck just left! The reason it is so much colder on the Atlantic side of Spain than the Mediterrean is that the Atlantic side lacks the warm current.

Santiago is overall a very safe place to be in. Although it's a city, it's small and it definetly has a small town atmosphere. I have never seen myself or anyone I know in any dangerous situation and I feel really safe walking around on my own at any time of the day.

If you use common sense like wearing a neck wallet or money belt beneath your clothes, potential thieves will probably move on to an easier target. Bring traveler's cheques because they can be replaced if lost or stolen. Don't be like those hapless souls on some TV commercials.

Santiago is a safe and nice city. During my last stay there I couldn't notice any scaring situation or naugthy people on the streets.
Enjoy Santiago.

i don't know if its the same for all but the tour bus driver we had was crazy- very scary experience
