Santiago de Compostela. World Heritage.

Santiago de Compostela is a universal city that, due to its cultural and architectural riches, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage City; a city where you can enjoy the unique sensation of wandering around streets whose stone has been masterfully carved by men and centuries.

As the final destination of the Way of St. James and a meeting place of European spirituality, the city treasures its multicultural legacy in numerous museums and nourishes an intensive creative calendar with concerts, plays, dance shows, exhibitions and a lot more.

To the surprise of its visitors, Compostela also displays an outstanding catalogue of contemporary architecture, designed by Eisenman, Hedjuk or Siza, which is surrounded by outstanding parks and gardens.

A city for savouring Galician gastronomy, characterised by the aroma of fresh sea and farm products; for quality shopping, covering the wide range of Galician fashion, craftwork, silver articles, jet stone or ceramics. A young city thanks to the presence of thousands of students attending its five-hundred-year-old University. And a safe place for enjoying the night, the ideal time for a stroll, live music or long evenings in clubs and discos.

And also... the possibility of getting to know Galicia on sightseeing tours from Santiago: its green scenery, its "rias", its wild oceanic coastline, its rich heritage and customs, its authenticity and renowned hospitality.
