Restaurante San Clemente

Historically, the smoke symbolized the relationship between men and divinity. Once the pilgrims had burned, in the cross farrapeira the ragged clothes with which they had finished the Way, and established in such a way the necessary relation with the celestial heights, they went to the present Plaza de San Clemente to wash in its source and get rid of the remaining impurities as a result of his long pilgrimage to Compostela.

Today the pilgrims, following the old rite, must visit the old square, now beautifully remodeled, which is located a few hundred meters from the Cathedral of Compostela, next to a spacious parking that will provide clear access to the historic town of Compostela.

In that same square, flying over its terrace above the sunken water spring, is the San Clemente Restaurant. The "Sancle" for your regular customers. It is the meeting point, for more than a quarter of a century, of professors and university students, politicians and businessmen who know about the quality of their cuisine stocked with fish and seafood from the Riveira and Muros fish markets but also from the Costa da Morte from whose cliffs the richest barnacles of the Earth are extracted. Meats and vegetables come from the highlands of Sober, near Monforte de Lemos and the wines not only from the Ribeira Sacra, kissed by the River Sil, but also from the most famous Galician and Spanish wineries.

Contemplating the water, purified the soul and properly fed the body in the Restaurant San Clemente, the visitor can go to the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela following a short route that begins at the bottom of the square, to the left of a beautiful stone stairway , going up the sweet slope of Rajoy Street, to access the Plaza del Obradoiro by another staircase that allows you to obtain the most beautiful and accurate photographs of the facade of the cathedral.
