Santiago de Compostela

3 things to see

Santiago de Compostela is the endpoint of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, and its core sights cost nothing: the UNESCO-listed granite old town is free to wander, and stepping inside the cathedral to reach the pilgrims’ destination carries no entry fee. The celebratory pilgrim atmosphere runs on affordable Galician wine and seafood, with tapas often served alongside a drink. Fellow Galician cities A Coruna, Pontevedra, and Vigo are within easy reach.
