Padrón stands out especially for its literary tradition.

Galicia has almost 1,500 kilometers of coastline that hide authentic natural gems. The famous Galician estuaries harbor true wild paradises of white sand, which are waiting to be discovered. The Hotel Scala has a privileged location that brings you closer to these must-see points in which to return to that authentic and natural beach, with the sound of the sea as a soundtrack and the waves unleashing their fury against the rocks as a visual spectacle. The Natural Park of Corrubedo, O Vilar and As Furnas are three natural spaces located just one step from our accommodation and that you can not miss.
The 25th of July is approaching, a great day in Galicia because it is the feast of its patron, Santiago Apóstol. The city of Compostela is already ready to celebrate, as every year its festivities. And it is precisely on the night of July 24 to 25 that the most awaited moment of all this celebration takes place: the fireworks and the audiovisual spectacle in the Plaza del Obradoiro. At Hotel Scala we discover the secrets of one of the most special days of the year in the capital of Galicia and we encourage you to come and contemplate all its magic live when you stay with us.
Summer is the time of year par excellence for making plans outside the home, especially if among them is to attend the many popular festivals or themes parties that spread throughout the Galician geography. Padrón is not far behind, and throughout the month of July it is possible to enjoy an agenda full of activities among which stand out the traditional Medieval Fair and the Santiaguiño do Monte parties. Take note and do not miss any!
Although Padrón is enormously known for being the capital of the last section of the Portuguese Way, many do not know that it is also the origin of the Xacobeo. Precisely to value the Jacobean resources of the town and its importance in the history of the Camino the Pedronía was born, a new itinerary that allows us to know a little more about our history. In the Hotel Scala Group we tell you about it and we invite you to make this credential!
