Located in the heart of Galicia, in the province of A Coruña, Spain, the city of Santiago de Compostela is one of the region’s most special destinations. The truth is that many different paths lead to Compostela. Most people feel inspired and motivated by the emblematic nature of the Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James), which brings together tourists from all over the world in the main square. They are there for various reasons such as faith, personal stories or even for books and films. The truth is that when visiting the city, it is impossible to not be inspired by all the pilgrims who have marked their story as travellers.
A World Heritage Site since 1985, Santiago de Compostela is considered the most cosmopolitan city in Galicia. It has all the characteristics to be considered as such. In the historic centre, you can visit the Cathedral and the Portico of the Glory, as well as emblematic squares such as Obradoiro, Quintana and Toural. The city also has dozens of churches, convents and palaces, from the Romanesque period, through the Gothic up to the Baroque. And then? Then there are the seductive local shops, bars, restaurants and a beautiful horticultural market filled with fresh products.
For all these reasons, Santiago is a big city and it makes us feel even bigger. Visit the Alameda with its camellia trees and Herradura, in the heart of the city centre, with a fantastic view of the cathedral. And on the banks of the Sar River, the Colexiata de Santa María and its virtuous inclined columns.
