# Who writes this guide

The person behind the site

There is no anonymous content farm behind santiago.es: one person writes it, signs every page, and answers for what it says.

By [Cesar Rodriguez](https://santiago.es/en/author) · updated 30 August 2026

## I'm Cesar Rodriguez

I edit santiago.es: I write the guides, keep the data current, and sign every page with my name. This site doesn't belong to any travel-content network and it doesn't rewrite what other sites publish; when a page says “verified in August 2026”, it means that month someone — me — actually checked the information.

## How the information gets verified

Each kind of data has its source and its method, always the same:

- **Opening hours and prices**: checked against the official source (the Cathedral of Santiago, TUSSA, Aena, Renfe, the Pilgrim's Office), always marked as indicative, with the date of the last review.
- **Restaurants, albergues and shops**: when a business confirms its details directly with me, its listing carries the “Verified” badge. When a place closes, it leaves the guide; it has happened before and it will happen again.
- **Camino figures**: official statistics from the Pilgrim's Office, with the reference year always visible.

If you spot a mistake

A schedule that changed, a place that closed, an outdated fare: message me on any of the profiles below and I'll fix it. This guide is exactly as useful as its data is accurate.

## Where to find me

These are my public profiles, in case you want to check that I exist — or just say hello:
