Santiago, the student nightlife

You’re guaranteed to have a great time every night in Santiago de Compostela thanks to its student atmosphere. The streets are always thronging with people, and the old part of town is packed with places which are full of life even on Sunday and Monday evenings. The pubs are full of young people who come out to dance and have fun, and many venues offer live music, particularly the Celtic taverns. All these bars are located in the city centre, which means you can drop into several of them in one evening with just a short walk, just as the local inhabitants do. And you’ll also find plenty of atmosphere outside in the streets, as the tunos (traditional troupes of student singers) regale revellers with their songs in the Plaza del Obradoiro square and in the busy streets around the Cathedral.
