They will take you to the cathedral stone roofs (don't wear high heels!), where you get great views of the old city.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19395 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17468
Like most Spanish cities, the nightlife is good here and anyone who feels brave can do the Paris-Dakar bar crawl - having a drink in each bar between 'Paris' and 'Dakar'. Try the local white wine, especially from Rías Baixas region, which is excellent. In some bars I remember wine being served in saucers, which seems a little abstemious on reflection, but you can always go nuts afterwards with the Basque digestif 'Patxaran'. This is a rather too-easy-to-drink sloe and anise spirit - a headache is guaranteed.

Regarding the weather, rain wear is essential here and don't skimp on quality or you'll find you spend most of your trip drying off in cafes then getting drenched again. In fact, to keep out the kind of torrents you'll face anywhere on the north coast of Spain, I'd recommend waterproofs and an umbrella. Spanish people will tell you that they feel sorry for you living in a country like the UK where it rains all the time. If only they knew! England is a desert compared to Galicia and Asturias. Go anyway though, but be prepared!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17468 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16512 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16512 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10892 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10892
