Santiago de Compostela for gourmands

Gluttony, sweet, destruction ... we crawl few pleasures break schemes, be lenient with ourselves and enjoy the same enthusiasm we had ten years. Chocolate pastry shops could well serve as subtle time machine to bring back to us images of a simpler past. Today, Santiago de Compostela for gourmands.

Pastelería El Coral (Rua do Doutor Teixeiro, 32): located in the new city area, this bakery has the best reputation among Compostela. Any celebration has to have one of their pies or cakes.

Pastelería Mercedes Mora (Rua Nova, 50): one of the oldest in Santiago de Compostela, Pastelería Mora as it is known in the city changed concept some years ago and no longer confined to dispatch sweets on the counter, but It has opened a space brunch where you can enjoy your coffee cakes artisans. It is a pastry that accompanied the first in the Orfas Compostela Rua and now in the Rua Nova. Any cake or pie to choose is good but if we had to choose, we would be left with chocolate artisans, they are a consolation against daily adversity.

Heladería Xearte Brigitte (Rua de San Pedro, 70):  ended up at the San Pedro neighborhood, very close to our Hotel Bonaval. Brigitte opened the ice cream Xearte very recently but has become a place in the heart of Compostela, tourists and pilgrims. Located in full Rúa de San Pedro, straight end of the French Way, the proposal hinges on the craftsmanship and the use of natural products. Ice cream, smoothies, iced drinks and fresh juices are a proposal that is in his intense and natural flavor your best introduction.
