Universidad de Santiago de Compostela (USC)

So many bars, just walk in the 'zona vieja' and choose the overcrowded ones! So many cafés just walk in the zona vieja Events in la plaza del obradoiro or in la quintana (concerts,dances...)the magostos (november),the Nunca Mais political manifestation, San Juan (june), and all the festivals 'cortosmetraxes' (cine, july), en pé de pedra (june), the 25th of July is Saint James look at the sky!!And visit all Galicia it's beautiful!!!

The historic part of the city is wonderful, especially at night: it's full of pubs (1/40 inhabitants), full of young people, full of life. By day it's interessant to visit celtic remains: Castro Baroña, cerca de Noia (w/bus); "Pico Sacro", from where you have a wide view on all the galician lands; and the "Parque Natural Dunas de Corrubedo", Corrubedo, where you can also bath and stay on the wonderful beach.

Cafes and bars: O Filandón, perfect for wine and tapas; Pepa a Loba; Séptimo Cielo; O Retablo. Places to visit: Corrubedo; Praia das Catedrales (near Ribadeo); Fogar do Santiso; Las Islas Cíes

The old part of the city is full of great hang-outs, the new part is for discos. There are SO many places that I didn't have time visit them all during 5 months (believe me, I tried)

Night spots: Nao Berlin, a cool dance spot for early on. Bar Tolo: Punk at it's grittiest. Casting: THE hip late night disco.

Apollo, A Club in the centre of Santiago and The irish pub highly recommended for exchange students!!
