The Galician Xunta has asked Santiago tourists, and most particularly pilgrims, to report seemingly excessive prices, below-advertised-quality food and other similar restaurant and hotel abuses.<BR>
Two days ago the Xunta imposed a six thousand Euros fine (ouch!) and closed for three months the Carpe-Diem restaurant, located on Bautizados Street where the Casco abuts the Alameda, after receiving twenty complaints reporting such abusive practices.<BR>
Pilgrims and tourists are encouraged to request a detailed bill which, if apparently excessive, may be given to the Tourist Information office in any Galicia town. <BR>
