Santiago de Compostela, in winter a campus and in summer a pilgrimage town is a really lively and warm city despite its rainy weather. Always full of young people, the atmosphere is always cheerful, especially in the many bars and restaurants where you can enjoy delicious Galician food.
Pilgrims in Obradoiro in front of the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela
The obradoiro exudes a magical attraction that forces you to walk through it whenever you're around. I couldn't help admiring the cathedral and the other buildings of this huge plaza: the Parador (ancient pilgrim hospital), the Pazo de Raxoi and the College of San Jerónimo.
Around the cathedral there are several places where there is a fantastic atmosphere, and pedestrian arcaded streets ideal for walking and the great monastery of San Martín Pinario.
- Cathedral of Santiago (and its roofs)
- Obradoiro (Pazo de Raxoi and College of San Jerónimo)
- Parador (also in Obradoiro)
- Squares of Praterías, Quintana and Inmaculada around the cathedral
- Monastery of San Martín Pinario
- Rúa do Vilar, Rúa do Franco and Rúa Nova
- Alameda Park (views of the cathedral)

Definitely, Santiago is a city with an amazing life perfect to enjoy its rich culture and cuisine. A perfect end to El Camino de Santiago (The Way of Saint James.
After spending two days in Santiago de Compostela, we visited beautiful places and beaches in Galicia, like Fisterra and Costa da Morte, Baiona or Rodas Beach in Cíes Islands National Park. Then we went to Valença do Minho and Tui to begin El Camino de Santiago Portugués (The Portuguese Way of Saint James), which led us back to Santiago six days later.
