If you are looking for a truly unique place to eat, our advice is to leave fast food, taverns and whatever else .. Point, rather, for Rúa da Senra, walking for a few hundred meters until you arrive at Plaza de Abastos. Here, you will find the unmissable Mercado de Abastos offering fresh produce from the 1873! Well, we at Kanoa are really lovers of … kind. Especially if in “showcase” there are first fruits, local products, genuine goodness, fresh and with an excellent quality / price ratio. And this is the case of the Mercado de Abastos. Photo ©, Jerezplataforma This is a large city market within an indoor building. Find everything: there is really a lot of variety. Have fun touching, sniffing, watching; you can choose between meat, fish, cheese, typical products, vegetables and fruit. You can buy local products, and even cook yourself, at the moment, what you have purchased: there you can go to the area to the west of the market. You can sip an aperitif, a glass of white wine accompanied by the inevitable “Tapas” on the trestle chairs. The market, moreover, is very clean. Fair prices, a lot of warmth, friendliness and joyful air. We have really appreciated this market and its typicality. There are also events and activities for all tastes, such as, for example, interesting workshops and cooking classes. Experience, culture and gastronomy await you in this splendid architectural context of Santiago de Compostela. Outside the market, however, you will also find many farmers who sell the products of their land. PRACTICAL INFO HOW TO GET The Market is located in the historic center, just a short distance from the marvelous Cathedral.

Monastir Yuso y Suso
Monastir Yuso y Suso, the monasteries along the Way of Saint James San Millán de la Cogolla, is a small town in the Spanish Autonomous Community of La Rioja. In this area, incredibly rich in monasteries, it is possible to visit particularly suggestive buildings, many of which are immersed in nature. Among these, the Monastir Yuso y Suso, two authentic architectural masterpieces, declared World Heritage by UNESCO in 1997 stand out. The Monastery of Suso is the oldest of the two; probably, it is the oldest of the whole Iberian peninsula. Founded by San Millán in the 5th century, it still preserves traces of the passage of different civilizations over the centuries. Thus, the Visigothic, Mozarabic and Romanesque features are visible. The importance of Suso also lies in the fact that right here the first traces of the Spanish language are preserved; these are the so-called Glosas Emilianenses, notes in the margin of a Latin text. According to tradition, in the sepulcher of the cloister, the seven children of Lara were buried. It was in this monastery that the Spanish poet Gonzalo de Berceo received his first education.

Closed on Monday. When the relics of San Millán were transferred to the monastery of Santa María la Real, the oxen that pulled the cart suddenly stopped. They remained incredibly still, without anyone being able to get them to continue. King García Sánchez interpreted the fact as a sign and that was how Yuso arose in this place. A story, a myth or a legend, the Monastery of Yuso of San Millán de la Cogolla is undoubtedly a beautiful place of worship; a church and a sacristy of the XVI century and many interior elements worthy of note. Certainly, the library, one of the most important in Spain, is the highlight; in particular, for the value and antiquity of the documents that are kept there.
