One day in Santiago de Compostela

  • One day in-Santiago de Compostela
From $ 60
Skip the walking of the Camino de Santiago and head straight for the finish line in the town of Santiago de Compostela.
Santiago de Compostela is all panoramic views and preserved history. The end destination of the centuries-old Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route, this medieval town guards the ashes of St. James, the Patron Saint of Spain, in a silver urn kept in a crypt directly below an ornate high altar. Marvel at the old cathedral in Plaza del Obradoiro, visit the Rajoy Palace, and hear ghost tales at Parador Hostal dos Reis Catolicos, a former hospital turned into a posh hotel, as you explore at your pace.
