Nocturnal strolls

“…during the long winter nights, when darkness thickens in the narrow streets and the enormous cathedral overshadows the square of Quintana de Muertos, and the clock counts the hours with a bronze tongue and the moon reflects vaporous rays of light onto the tall towers, Santiago makes a solemn impression.”

Emilia Pardo Bazán

 

If there is a city where a nocturnal stroll is a pleasure, it has to be Compostela: wandering about the illuminated city, enjoying a peaceful dinner, conversing over a drink, attending a cultural event… Or having some wine and tapas at busy spots, mingling with the locals, to discover their routes and their routines when the sun sets.
