A MUST EVERY DAY: TERRAZAS

After your stage and dinner, practice the “Terraceo” in Summer. Along the Camino, on summer nights, having a drink on a terrace is a regular activity. There are large areas of terraces close to the Camino in emblematic squares and streets or in small neighborhoods. We highly recommend you to get carried away, choose a table and enjoy the Summer. Some hotels and restaurants have terraces on the top floor, where interesting concerts take place sometimes.
