Santiago tourist

I think I understand why the Spanish take an afternoon siesta… the heat! There are two worlds in Santiago, the real world and the old city with a plethora of historic buildings, cafes and tourists. The Cathedral, Portico of Glory is a must visit. It was crafted in the 12 century by sculptor Master Mateus and finished over time, With over 200 Romanesque style sculptures, the portico is the artistic high-point of the cathedral and often considered the greatest work of Spanish Romanesque sculpture. ( enough said)
The roof tour tells the story of 100s of years of different architectural styles and gives great views of the city. The massive museum is a wonder and it’s hard to get over the scale. The tapestry collection blew my mind. The whole experience was exhausting but I am revived with a delicious iced coffee!
PS found a gorgeous park, but have no desire to go on Ferris wheel!Read more
