Highlights
  • As Duas Marias - Alameda Park in Santiago de Compostela is an iconic green space, known for its charming landscaping, tree-lined avenues and grassy areas. It stands out for its statues, such as the one dedicated to Valle-Inclán, and offers panoramic views of the city. With kiosks, cafes and games areas, it’s a versatile place to relax. In addition, it hosts cultural events, contributing to its vitality and connection with the community.
  • Plaza del Obradoiro - The heart of Santiago de Compostela and a focal point for pilgrims. Surrounded by the imposing Cathedral, the Rajoy Palace, the Colegio de San Jerónimo and the Hostal de los Reyes Católicos, the square is an impressive setting. With a wide cobbled esplanade, it is a place where we will discover history, architecture and we will participate in the energy of the visitors who complete the Camino de Santiago.
  • Monasterio de San Martin Pinario - An imposing baroque structure with a rich history. Founded in the 10th century, it stands out for its architecture and its cultural and religious role. It is one of the largest monasteries in Spain and is home to artistic treasures and an impressive church. Its name comes from the “pinas” (pine cones) that formerly adorned the façade.
  • Praza das Praterías - It is one of the most emblematic places in the city and is steeped in history and culture. The square takes its name from the numerous silversmiths’ workshops that used to occupy the area in the Middle Ages.
    In the center of the square stands the Fountain of the Horses, a baroque fountain that adds a touch of elegance to the surroundings. Around it, there are historic buildings with facades of great architectural beauty. Highlights include the façade of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, which rises majestically in the background, and the Church of Santa María Salomé.

In addition to being a meeting point, the square is a witness to cultural events and celebrations that take place throughout the year, contributing to its importance as an emblematic space in the context of the Camino de Santiago.

  • Praza da Quintana de Vivos - Surrounded by the Church of San Paio de Antealtares and the south façade of the Cathedral, the square exudes serenity. In its center is the Fountain of the Horses, and along its cobblestones, you can perceive the spiritual atmosphere that characterizes this city.
  • Mercado de Abastos de Santiago - We will conclude our visit at the famous Mercado de Abastos de Santiago de Compostela, a traditional space where fresh products such as fruits, vegetables, meats and fish are sold. This market plays an important role in the local gastronomic offer, attracting both residents and visitors in search of quality products. In addition to food, it is common to find crafts and typical products from the region.

To finish our tour, we will make a stop at one of the leading hospitality establishments in the area where all visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy a beer or a glass of wine, both from the Galician region.
