Nature, sport and health. Get active in Compostela!

Santiago de Compostela's landscape has always been characterised by the presence of green. The city offers more than five million square metres of public green spaces.

One of the favourite areas is the Paseo de la Herradura in the Alameda, Santiago de Compostela's urban garden par excellence.

Its privileged location makes this green lung a perfect viewpoint of the old town and the ideal place to take a nice walk or do some outdoor exercise.

If you like running, it is an ideal place for a short and pleasant circuit. If you’re up for a longer run, you can extend your route to the university campus.

Galicia is a seafood country!

The region has an abundance of shellfish, offering a wide variety, and more importantly, a high quality.

September happens to be one of the best months to enjoy all types of Galician seafood.

That’s why you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to taste some of these local gastronomic delicacies, while staying in Santiago:

European lobster, goose barnacles, oysters, velvet crabs, mussels, clams..you name it.

And don’t forget to taste the most popular of all Galician dishes: Pulpo a Feira (Galician-style octopus).
