Embark on a complimentary walking tour in Santiago de Compostela, where you will encounter the city's iconic sites and delve into its rich history, guided by an experienced English-speaking leader.
Tour Overview
The meeting point for the tour is at Plaza del Obradoiro, the vibrant center of this historic pilgrimage destination.
Your journey begins with a view of the stunning western facade of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, completed in the 18th century. The guide will also highlight the impressive Pazo de Raxoi, a Neoclassical palace situated directly across from the cathedral. You will be captivated by the remarkable Hostal de Los Reyes Católicos, reputed to be the oldest hotel worldwide.
As we proceed on our adventure, we will navigate through the squares located behind the cathedral. The fascinating tales surrounding Quintana de los Muertos (Square of the Dead) and Quintana de los Vivos (Square of the Living) will be shared. Our next stop will be Plaza de Platerías, which features a stunning fountain known as Fuente de los Caballos.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is rich in myths and legends, which your guide will unveil as we stroll through its cobbled streets towards the University of Santiago. Following this, we will traverse Calle del Franco, a lively street full of bars and delightful eateries. At the end of our path, in Parque de La Alameda, you will encounter a distinctive statue of two women, Las dos Marías, honoring two sisters who used to charm students by walking along this very street.
Approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes later, our complimentary tour of Santiago de Compostela will conclude.
Group Size
This complimentary tour is limited to groups of up to 6 people. Should your group exceed this number, we recommend reserving a private tour.
