Patio de San Mateo, one of several interlinked courtyard inside the Parador in Santiago de Compostela; I am very happy that we are logged here. The room matters very little (although ours is lovely) ; it's the sense of history imbuing every inch of space that is so memorable. I recommend taking any available room, just to have a chance to stay here; much of the interior is off -limits to non-guests, even those on tours.
