Hostal de los Reyes Católicos (Parador Nacional)
Pazo de Raxoi (City Hall)
College of San Xerome

The square and its atmosphere is amazing. Full of pilgrims enjoying their moment of glory after the arduous sacrifice that led them to make their way. Congratulations pilgrims. Take your time to enjoy your moment calmly because life is made of these kinds of moments.
