Discover Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela, the long-sought destination of every pilgrim, is a city that radiates history, spirituality, and an unique atmosphere that culminates in the majestic Plaza del Obradoiro. Its impressive Cathedral, which houses the tomb of Saint James, is the crowning glory of a transformative experience. The arrival at this sacred place, after hundreds of kilometers, is a moment of profound emotion, celebration, and personal reflection. The historic quarter, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is a labyrinth of cobblestone streets, porticoed squares, and historical buildings that invite getting lost and discovering its charms. In Santiago, the pilgrim can perform rituals such as embracing the image of Saint James, visiting the crypt, and attending the Pilgrim's Mass, where the Botafumeiro, a giant incense burner, flies over the nave creating an unforgettable spectacle. The city offers a wide range of services, from the Pilgrim's Office to obtain the Compostela to exquisite Galician cuisine. Santiago is not just a final destination, but the place where countless paths converge and where every pilgrim finds the meaning of their own journey.
