colleagues have experienced stones in their faces so it does happen quite a lot. edinburgh is said to be one of the world's spookiest says. he's history contributes to its reputation there were bloody battles plague and witch burnings mysterious murders creator fertile ground for apparitions. most of the nerd in the old town which the scottish call drinking or old smoky. dark narrow panels with steep shadowy steps seven speired authors to gory details over the centuries. among them was the horror story of the strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde written by scottish author robert there was stephen sitting in the nineteenth century edinburgh city scriber mekere and scottish alan spends says the city has a special our world. i think these things that in the in that in the atmosphere and

that a profound spiritual entity and i think writers of also poets novelists dramatists feel those energies they may not understand the necessarily with intellect but there's something deeper going and something personal something that sparks the imagination. one place more than others as attracted poets and authors greyfriars care cure art. are also been taking place here is in the sixteenth century the overgrown place is said to be haunted. or remote is this and spread it over a former lord advocate who sues to mishear and initially he took offense at some homeless person taking shelter in his and his tomb and his muslim and he could not beat the guy up and since then they'd have been other recorded instances. it's one

discover the surrounding region and its natural beauty. the mounting to go solo or hill of joy offers many pilgrims on the way of st james the first glimpse of their final destination santiago de compostela last year more than three hundred thousand people joined the pilgrimage to this city in northwestern spain. the journey officially ends at the cathedral of santiago de compostela the crypt of the eleventh century building is said to contain the remains of st james the apostle. in one thousand nine hundred five the cathedral and old town of santiago de compostela were declared a unesco world heritage site the pilgrimage attracts people from all walks of life . and i'm not pat i have learned is very little bit of damage it's more that learning about myself than the people that we meet in. ten fifteen zero nine

a hospital was opened right next to the cathedral on the plaza to oprah. it was designed to treat exhausted pilgrims today the building houses a luxury hotel. that has four cloisters linking the different parts of the complex. the pilgrims who can afford to stay here pay upwards of two hundred euros a night for a double room. it's a far cry from the modest conditions once offered by the hospital in the early sixteenth century. most critically moved and you know at first the pilgrim stayed in the cathedral but there were a lot of infections and the smell was terrible so the decision was taken to build what was then one of the most important hospitals to treat the pilgrims and to provide them with accommodation to. go from into. the hotel has continued

one standing tradition the first ten pilgrims to arrive each day argh. given a free meal to qualify they have to get a voucher from the pilgrims reception office it's only open to those who completed the pilgrimage. the simple lunch is then served in one of the hotel's two restaurants. this table we are making because of those who had come another but yet we still have a lot in common it is not easy for us to get there now in a minute or two because we've all been on coming so we've got nothing common and nothing to talk about and advice to give each other for future. some five kilometers away from the historic city center is the so-called deletion city of culture the huge complex perched on top of monte guy house was opened in two thousand and eleven although not all the buildings are finished it was designed by

u.s. architect peter eisenman. the project has come under fire as its way over budget building work was stopped in two thousand and thirteen. but art and architecture fans will love it nonetheless. the finished parts of the complex include a museum a theater and an archive it's scheduled to be finished in two thousand and twenty. back in santiago de compostela as old town locals tourists and pilgrims can choose from hundreds of restaurants bars and cafes nary a customer is located in a small side street. here chef hunt galban cooks up traditional delicacies fish but oh my. dear lou xing cuisine has been subject to many different influences. but it's also very simple for our ingredients are fresh from the sea our from local farms. here other products and we try to process them as little as possible.

has this stuff in the kitchen and the mess in the bathroom and. so. in the bases we are the same so that's really nice. they post the results of their collaboration on a blog and on facebook their work tends to concentrate on images relating to ideas of home. the kitchen. the bathroom. in weighty images that see the artists gently poking fun at themselves. shoes. and matriculate dolls have also featured. part of the concept is that they add their own ideas to each other's work. in and sunday daniela's tweaks a drawing completed by her colleague in germany. it
