Highlights: One of the most attractive cities in all of Spain

Situated in the northwest of Spain on the Atlantic coast, it is the capital of the Galicia region.

Santiago de Compostela's artistic and historical importance was confirmed in 1993, when the entire city was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site, later in 2000, it was the European city of culture. The city is also known as the third holiest site in Christianity after Jerusalem and Rome.

The city is popular for its pilgrim routes, in particular the pilgrimage of the apostle St. James that draws thousands of people from around the world to the Cathedral.

Santiago de Compostela also remains an elegantly preserved medieval cathedral town. The Old Quarter contains monuments dating back from Romanesque, Baroque and Neo-Classical periods.

Its winding narrow streets are built from local stonework. When the weather is clear, the stone glimmers in the sunlight and on rainy days, they sparkle enchantingly.

Here you can find The Hostal dos Reyes Catolicos the oldest hotel in the world and The Praza do Obradoiro, with the great Baroque façade of the Cathedral, it is magnificent. The entire Old Quarter is of architectural appeal, great to discover on foot.
