Santiago de Compostela, a historic city and final destination of the Way, stands out for its majestic cathedral, its old town and vibrant cultural life.
Santiago de Compostela, kilometre zero of the Jacobean routes, becomes the starting point of your Way to Finisterre and Muxía.

It is customary to embrace the Apostle, see the Botafumeiro and contemplate the spectacular Pórtico de la Gloria. But without a doubt, Santiago is much more than its Cathedral; a stroll through its squares is enough to realize that it is a really lively city. Live music concerts, performances for children, parks, monuments, charming viewpoints, markets and a thousand other things that will make you fall in love with this fairytale city.
