About Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela, in Galicia, is the end point of the Camino pilgrimage routes, an old granite city dominated by its great cathedral.

Santiago de Compostela grew around the tomb of St James the Apostle, said to have been found in the ninth century, and pilgrims have walked here along the Camino de Santiago for a thousand years. The cathedral dominates the Praza do Obradoiro with a baroque façade facing the square; inside, the Romanesque Portico of Glory has carved figures, and a giant incense burner, the botafumeiro, swings on special occasions. The old town is a UNESCO site.
