Overview

The first part of the visit includes the most touristic part of the city, as the squares around the Cathedral (Obradoiro, Quintana, Platerias) and the Franco Street. In this part we will explain to you the meaning of the main symbols of the city (shell, Botafumeiro, the tradition of the Camino). The second part is about the less touristic places of the city, but the most authentic as the Alameda park (with the best views of the Cathedral), narrow streets, hidden squares and, of course, the local Market.

Do you know how Saint James came to Compostela?
Who the Dos Marías were?
Or what was the function of the Botafumeiro?
