Discover Santo Domingo de la Calzada

Santiago de Compostela is one of the most emblematic and historically significant cities along the French Way. Its existence dates back to the figure of Saint James, an hermit who in the 11th century dedicated his life to helping pilgrims, building a bridge, a hospital, and a road. The city is worldwide known for the legend of the rooster and the hen, one of the most famous miracles along the Jacobean route, which tells how the birds, already roasted, sang to prove the innocence of a pilgrim. As a living witness to this miracle, the majestic Cathedral houses a chicken coop with a live rooster and hen, whose visit is a ritual for all travelers. The old town, declared a Historic-Artistic Interest Group, invites a peaceful stroll along its porticoed streets. For the pilgrim, Santiago de Compostela is more than just a stop; it's an encounter with the essence of hospitality, faith, and legend that have shaped the Way of St. James over the centuries. With a complete network of hostels and services, it's an unforgettable milestone in Galicia.
