Location & what to see

Hostal Mafer is at Rua do Horreo, 22, next to Plaza de Galicia, in the centre of Santiago de Compostela. The square is 50 m away; Plaza del Toural is 150 m away, and the cathedral is less than a five-minute walk away. The surrounding area has cafés and restaurants: Fornos is 30 m away and Alabama is 50 m away. From here, you can continue on foot through the streets and monumental squares of the old town, without needing to travel far to start exploring.

For arrivals and departures, Santiago de Compostela Airport is 9 km away. The airport bus stop is 200 m from the guest house, and Santiago de Compostela bus station is 650 m away. Santiago de Compostela railway station offers another way to get here and can be reached on foot from the area. There is no parking at the property, so the bus and train are useful alternatives for arriving and getting around the centre. A Coruña and Vigo airports are 47 and 70 km away, respectively.

In the old town, Plaza de la Quintana is 400 m away and Plaza del Obradoiro is 500 m away; the Museum of Pilgrimages and Santiago is 430 m away. Alameda Park, 350 m away, adds tree-lined walks to the route between squares, churches and gardens. The cathedral is a notable point on pilgrimage routes and can be visited alongside the city centre’s monumental sites. If you’re travelling in July, celebrations around the feast day of Saint James the Apostle mark the local calendar; outside those dates, museums and walking routes still offer ways to explore the city.
