About Santiago de Compostela
Santiago grew up around the reputed tomb of the Apostle James, and from the Middle Ages pilgrims have walked the Camino de Santiago to reach its cathedral. The granite old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a maze of arcaded lanes, cloisters and plazas, and the city remains a lively university town in green, rainy Galicia.
A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
