Santiago de Compostela - Old Town

To the south of the Cathedral and the Plaza de las Platerías is the old town of Santiago, centered on two parallel streets, Rúa del Villar (with the 18th century Casa del Deán at its near end, on left) and Rúa Nueva (Galician Nova). These two arcaded streets with their bars and restaurants and souvenir shops are the hub of the town's life.
