AAA+ to cap our Camino de Santiago!
Pros:

This hotel was reserved by our Camino tour company, Follow the Camino, at the end of our 12-day trek. It is ideally located just a few minutes’ walk from the Cathedral. Everything about this hotel is wonderful: the facilities are first-rate, the service is excellent, and the freshly prepared daily breakfast gave us a great boost for our additional days exploring the Camino to Fisterre.
The best part of this already outstanding hotel is the staff. You’ll receive five-star treatment like you would at those premier thousand-dollar hotels. Alba and Patricia took care of just about everything for us—they found and reserved the best restaurants in town, arranged our stress-free transfers, and, without us even asking, prepared breakfast to go for us on our way out.
Top-notch 24-hour service at a boutique hotel is something we don’t often experience. We have a few more Caminos de Santiago in our future, and one thing is certain: Hotel Altair will always be our destination for resting our aching pilgrim feet!

Buen Camino!
