Tour description

Isa, Juan and Fran are official, local guides with extensive experience who will help you fully immerse yourself in this incredible city.

How did Santiago de Compostela come about and how did it become a religious, cultural and tourist reference point?

There is no better place to explain the origin of the city than the Plaza del Obradoiro , a privileged place, where the 4 main characteristics of the city are perfectly defined:

The Pazo de Raxo symbolises political power, the Pazo de San Xerome reflects the importance of the University in local history, the Hostal de los Reyes Católicos represents its thousand-year-old hospitality and the majestic Cathedral, emblem of the city, represents ecclesiastical power.

We will walk through the different squares surrounding the Cathedral to admire the grandeur of monasteries such as San Martín Pinario and San Paio , also visiting the Plazas de la Quintana, Cervantes and Platerías.

Santiago is not only about history, but also about gastronomy, so we will go to the second most visited place in the city, the Mercado de Abastos. This is an ideal place, full of flavours, noises and smells, where we will talk about the rich Galician gastronomy. In addition, you will be able to receive recommendations on the best places to eat and drink in Compostela.

The icing on the cake? Visiting the Alameda Park! We will learn about the dramatic history of Las Marías, and end the tour with a spectacular panoramic view of the old city and the Cathedral, covering the explosion of the Camino de Santiago and the city in the 1990s.
