The internationally famous Camino de Santiago ends in this city located in the northwest of Spain. If the pilgrim always ends his journey in the Plaza del Obradoiro, he enters the Cathedral and sses the amazing swinging incense burner, the Botafumeiro. For any traveler this can be a good start. Don't forget to visit the beautiful roof of the temple which also provides excellent views.

A World Heritage site, this is the most cosmopolitan city of Galicia. The profusion of Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque churches, convents and palaces attest to its architectural and cultural richness.

Take note of its spectacular pazos (manor house). Bendaña, Raxoi, and San Xerome are magnificent examples of the traditional Galician manor house. Some of the best small charming hotels occupy this type of building.

A walk through the old Parque de la Alameda provides unbeatable views of the historic center. In the popular Mercado de Abastos the farmers from the outskirts of Santiago sell the products they grow and the fish arrives fresh from the sea. From Santiago you can take an excursion to the Rias Baixas, where the sea enters the mouth of the river, and enjoy the local seafood.
