The old town of Santiago combines medieval architecture, Renaissance rationale and Baroque theatricality. It is a delight to wander around this surprisingly harmonious blend, exploring the maze of narrow streets abounding in old houses and little squares, such as those of Fonseca, Platerías, Feijóo, San Martín and San Roque. If one then adds the countless cafés, shops, pilgrims and students, you will get an idea of the overall atmosphere.
