Photographer's Note
See another photo in the WS.
---------------------------
Santiago de Compostela, located in the northwest of Spain and capital of the autonomous community of Galicia, is a city that falls in love at first sight with its monumental Cathedral and the network of alleys in the old town, declared a World Heritage Site.
It is also one of the three main pilgrimage centers of Christianity, along with Jerusalem and Rome, so you will enjoy a good atmosphere for pilgrims and students as it has a prestigious university that is more than 500 years old.
The Plaza de Obradoiro is the heart of the city, in it is the impressive Cathedral that occupies one of the lengths of the square; which also has several of the most beautiful monuments to see in Santiago, such as the Pazo de Raxoi, current seat of the town hall, the Pazo de Xelmirez, the former episcopal palace of the cathedral, and the Colexio de San Xerome, the former college of the city and of course another favorite building in this square is the Hospital of the Catholic Monarchs, built in 1501 by order of the Catholic Monarchs to give shelter to pilgrims who ended up exhausted and sometimes sick on the Camino de Santiago. Today this Plateresque-style building is known as the Parador de Santiago.
The Old Quarter, located around the Plaza de Obradoiro and declared a World Heritage Site, is the oldest and most essential neighborhood to visit in Santiago de Compostela.
Among the most beautiful corners are the Cervantes, Plater韆s and Quintana squares, the stately homes of Balconada, De醤 and La Parra, as well as its most emblematic streets such as R鷄 do Franco, R鷄 Ra眈a, R鷄 do Vilar and R鷄 Nova, all of them surrounded by beautiful old buildings and in which it is worth investing time.

Hello Luis,
I would probably, just out of habit, have used the WS as main photo because of the street view of rather ordinary buildings and a glimpse of ordinary life. But certainly this is a good composition with a fine lamp, nice reflections in the lower window and beautiful flowers on the balconies. The vertical shape with lots of vertical accents also make it a good photo.
Best regards,
Gert

Hola Luis,
Either of your photographs would have made good main posts. The w/s shows some interesting details of the street and is animated by the figures. However, I really like how you have incorporated the street features, here, into a most interesting, well-balanced composition.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

And what a lovely detail it is! I like the colors of the flowers against the stone facades. I also like the textures and the geometric shapes.

Hello Luis,
A very nice detail of the street with a lot of fine elements to discover, most prominently the lamp and the flowers. Also the windows and the small balconies look lovely and the textures of the old wall look clear and good.
