Description
Santiago de Compostela, capital of the Autonomous Community of Galicia and a city declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO thanks to its monumental beauty, extraordinary conservation and for being the destination of a thousand-year-old pilgrimage route: the Way of St. James, which since the 9th century has transformed this spot in the "Finis Terrae" into a meeting point for faith and thought in the western world. Santiago de Compostela has been attracting visitors and pilgrims from all over the world for centuries. It is the most cosmopolitan city in Galicia but at the same time a quiet and natural city. In the historic centre we find the Cathedral and the Portico de la Gloria, emblematic squares such as the Obradoiro, the Quintana and O Toural. Dozens of churches, convents and palaces. Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque. Santiago has it all. And also shops, bars, restaurants and a beautiful food market brimming with fresh products, where you can discover the authentic Galician culture and feel how the locals live.
What we are going to do?
We will take a tour around the Old Town of Santiago to get to know the most emblematic places of the city. We will start from the Plaza del Obradoiro. There the guide will tell us about the history of the city, show us the main monuments and then we will go around the Cathedral and visit all the other squares that surround it: Plaza de la Inmaculada, Plaza de la Quintana and Plaza de Platerías. After an hour of cultural tour we will take a well-deserved break to taste the Galician gastronomy. We will go to an emblematic place of the city located in the famous Rúa do Preguntoiro. There we will enjoy a tasting of their seafood cake from the Galician Rias and taste the famous Albariño wine.
