Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Saint James
Meet your guide for a walking tour of the city. In the Middle Ages, Santiago de Compostela was the third most important religious pilgrimage site after Jerusalem and Rome. Stand on the main square, on the spot where the pilgrims stand celebrating the end of their journey of hundred of miles along the Saint James Way. Visit the 11th-century cathedral, containing the tomb of Saint James the Great. Meander through the well-preserved Gothic quarter with granite streets and UNESCO World Heritage sites and stroll the riverside promenade, lined with restaurants specialised in pulpo, bacalao and sea food, shaded by sycamore trees. Your guide is available to stay with you in the afternoon if you wish to continue your tour of Santiago.
