Routes by Santiago de Compostela
  Route within the City Walls: Monumental City
By means of this route, we suggest a tour around Santiago de Compostela’s monumental heritage, including a not-to-be-missed walk around about the Cathedral and the famous Plaza del Obradoiro, as well as the main monuments and squares.

However, this route also features other corners, monuments, squares… some of which are unknown to visitors and omitted by guidebooks but should not be overlooked.

This route is also available, with all the information, in the mp3 audio-guide that you will find in Turismo de Santiago offices. The audio-guide, which lets you visit the city at your own pace, intersperses explanations with music and sounds that are easily identified with our city.
