Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela is the capital of the autonomous community of Galicia, in northwestern Spain. The city has its origin in the shrine of Saint James the Great, now the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, as the destination of the Way of St. James, a leading Catholic pilgrimage route since the 9th century. In 1985, the city’s Old Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

You can get more information in the Council Website and the specific Tourism Website of Santiago de Compostela and its surroundings.

This year 2021 is Jubilee Year, and thousands of pilgrims come to Santiago de Compostela using The Way of Saint James. This was also extended to the whole year 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
