Fresco Tours Supports Scholarships!

We are excited to be a part of “Opening the Doors to Opportunity” with the Francis W. Parker (Chicago, IL) Scholarship Auction. On Saturday, March 13, 2010 at 5:30PM in Chicago’s Navy Pier, enjoy a wonderful night with family, friends, food and a fabulous live auction.  All proceeds from this biennial event benefit the Scholarship Fund which will award $2.7m in financial aid this year.

Fresco Tours has donated 2 spots for one of our Camino de Santiago Tours in hopes of helping to raise funds for this historic day school that emphasizes community and citizenship – 2 elements that make the Camino so special!

Join the festivities, going once…..twice…..

Saludos from Spain,

Restaurants: Santiago de Compostela – Casa Marcelo

This is an amazing place that should not be missed by foodies!  A stones throw away from the Cathedral, Marcelo takes traditional Galician ingredients and prepares delicious plates in a new and interesting way – completely avant garde!  He has a fixed sampler menu that allows you to savor 6 different dishes, all based on what is fresh at Santiago’s Abastos Market.  A dining experience!

Casa Marcelo
Rua Hortas, 1
15705 Santiago de Compostela
