Santiago de Compostela, thousand-year-old meeting place

Santiago de Compostela is the final destination of one of Europe’s most important pilgrim routes, the Way of St. James. Starting in the 10th century, millions of pilgrims have crossed the continent to reach this Holy City in the ancient “finis terrae, travelling along an increasingly popular spiritual route that created Europe.

In the 21st century, Santiago still cultivates its charm, its rich heritage, generosity and love for excellence to offer unforgettable experiences to all those coming here. We are backed by more than a thousand years’ experience in receiving and looking after our visitors.
