1. We will begin with a brief historical introduction, to later begin a guided walking route, explaining the facades of the Cathedral with the squares and monuments that surround it. Thus we will see the facades of Platerias (the only Romanesque façade that is preserved), Obradoiro (masterpiece of Fernando de Casas y Novoa), Azabachería (main entrance door of the pilgrims in the EM) and Quintana (where we find the Holy Door and the Monastery of San Paio de Antealtares, founded in the 9th century to guard the tomb of the Apostle). And a lot of spectacular buildings and monuments, which we will discover together, through their legends and characters ...

We will end our visit in the Alameda Park, a 56,087m2 garden, of great botanical and monumental interest, where we will learn about the unique history of the "Dos Marías" and will make a brief summary of other pieces of special interest that can be discovered, already individually, after finishing the visit.

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.
