Favourite Cities and Old and New Hotels in Spain - Post 2 Modern Zenit Hotel in Coruna and Antique-filled Casa Grande do Bachao not near Santiago

 These hotels were opposites. The Zenit hotel was central, walking distance to the main sites in A Coruna. Modern.

SANTIAGO CITY

Santiago is a busy crowded city, filled with pilgrims following the footsteps of saints. 

The Cathedral charges entrance. I liked the gift shop. I bought a bracelet for a modest five euros. It has a teeny cross attached. I presumed it was a rosary. I was wondering about this, and whether and how to detach the cross. But the cross fell off and disappeared.

What's To Like

What's not to Like

At first glance I was not thrilled with the basement restaurant. But the dinner was good and the breakfast buffet plentiful.

CASA GRANDE HOTEL

The Casa Grande hotel was miles out in the mountains, remote and rustic and filled with antiques. 

Casa Grande means big house. More of a big complex. The hotel has some rooms in the main house. We were in a larger room in the annexe. A few steps down a steep slope, but good to get the exercise after all the food I was eating.

The swimming pool is outdoors.
