Tour Details

Haven't visited Santiago de Compostela yet? At the designated time, we'll meet at the iconic Praza do Obradoiro and begin a small-group tour of a maximum of 15 people through the historic center of the Galician capital. Let's go!

During the tour, we'll discover the major attractions of this city, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. First, we'll take a look at the imposing Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, an 18th-century church that boasts of being one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the world. It's the endpoint of the Camino de Santiago!

Next, we'll visit the Pazo de Raxoi, with architectural details that perfectly reflect 18th-century French Neoclassicism. We'll also visit the Plateresque-style Hostal de los Reyes Católicos, which currently houses the Parador de Santiago de Compostela.

Our guided tour will continue by exploring the squares located behind the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral, such as Praza da Quintana. This square is divided into two sections: the Praza da Quintana de Vivos and the Praza da Quintana de Muertos. Do you know the reason behind this historic division? We'll tell you all about it! From here, we'll stroll to Praza das Platerías, a place that hides a mystery that will leave a lasting impression.

Our next stop will be at the University of Santiago de Compostela, an ideal spot to explore before heading into Rúa do Franco, the best area for tapas in Santiago.

In the final stretch of the tour, we'll visit As Marías, also known as Las dos Marías, one of the most notable sculptures in Parque da Alameda de Santiago de Compostela. Its story, which pays tribute to two sisters, is a symbol of resistance and freedom in Santiago de Compostela.

Finally, after 1 hour and 45 minutes, we'll return to the starting point and wrap up the tour.
