The location is unique, the Travesía de la Universidad in Santiago de Compostela is the very centre of the historical area of the city. The incredible environment in which this house is situated is found in few cities, right in front of the Faculty of Geography and History, a neoclassical building with enormous columns, from the 18th century. It stands out for its landscaped cloister and the Paraninfo and reading room of enormous beauty. To the left is the Mercado de Abastos, located in the Plaza de Abastos, between the churches of San Agustín and San Félix, the second most visited place in the city after the Cathedral, both by locals, visitors and pilgrims. Wherever you walk in this area you come across history, with cobbled floors with symbols of the Camino. But history must be reconciled with the needs of modern life, with the services we need to live comfortably and in this case they are all within easy reach: pharmacies, food, schools - two in less than 5 minutes walk, nursery, small shops, etc. The distance to the so-called "new area" of the city is about 5 minutes walking.
