Some of the highlights of this tour include:
- Plaza del Obradoiro. The starting point for the route. This impressive plaza is the heart of the city and is surrounded by monumental buildings, including the spectacular Cathedral. Its name comes from the local Gallego language and is a tribute to the stonemasons who were responsible for building the Cathedrals Baroque facade.
- The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela. One of the most impressive cathedrals in Spain, both for its history and construction. This is the final resting place of the apostle James, and the end of the pilgrimage of the famous Camino de Santiago.
- Discover the streets and squares of the city center, including the Ruas – streets that date back to the 12th century. In the reflection of the streets, the stone arches and buildings we see the history and antiquity of the city itself. Santiago displays the full force of its charm in these streets.
