Royal Hospital, late
15th century pilgrims' hostel
Combining history, art and
tradition, the goal of pilgrims and the emblem of St. James, the Hostal
dos Reis Católicos, in the Plaza do Obradoiro, forms together with
the cathedral one of the world’s most remarkable, and most visited, urban
settings.
The Hostal, which first saw
life as a Royal Hospital in 1499 to house the many pilgrims arriving in
Santiago, today still invites the traveller to enjoy this universal and
fascinating city.

|
Considered the oldest hotel
in the world, it is also one of the most luxurious and beautiful.
It has four extremely beautiful
cloisters, elegant public rooms, spectacular bedrooms and a luxurious dining
room offering Galician style fish and meats and the classic apple filloa
pies and crème brulee.

|
|
Specialities and traditional
dishes
For dessert, filloas de
manzana (apple pie) and crème brulee.
In the Hostal there are two
different dining areas: the restaurant Dos Reis, select and sedate, and
the restaurant Enxebre, with a more informal ambience, offering traditional
Galician cooking.
Seafood and fish recently
caught in the Atlantic, local meat and cheeses are some of the first quality
products on offer, without neglecting our wines and liquors.
