I don't know when you were here or what you ate, but we can't confirm your impression. There's probably better food in every McDonald's branch. Sorry, but unfortunately it fits the whole day. The tour stage was awful, the hostel not great and the food was very mediocre. The beer alone tastes equally good everywhere.

The Romanesque Cathedral of Santa María with Gothic influences is a fortress-like cathedral that was begun in 1120 but not consecrated until 1225. Its cloister (13th century) is worth mentioning, the only complete medieval cloister that has been preserved in a cathedral in Galicia, and the Santiago Chapel inside the church. The interior can be visited for €3, and you can get your pilgrim stamp at the ticket office.
