Café-Jardin Costa Vella

Top choice in Santiago de Compostela


The garden cafe of Hotel Costa Vella is the most delightful spot for breakfast (or a drink later in the day), with its fountain, scattering of statuary and flowering fruit trees. If the weather takes a rainy turn, you can still enjoy it from the glass pavilion or the galería.

Service is good and there's a choice of breakfasts, with croissants, toast, cheese, jam, honey, crushed tomato and more.
