Where |
Santiago is the capital of Galicia situated in the Northwest corner of the Iberian peninsula. Santiago’s cathedral is the final stop along El Camino de Santiago (the “Way of St. James”), a pilgrimage route dating to the middle ages and a UNESCO world heritage site today. |
|
When |
This is one of Spain's rainiest regions, so late spring and early fall are the best time to travel in terms of the weather. |
|
Why |
Apart from the historical significance of the pilgrimage route and the beautiful cathedral, Santiago is one of Spain’s most stunning cities. The flagstone streets and the historic buildings offer a romantic air, and the city has been declared a national landmark by the Spanish government. Don’t miss the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Cathedral and, of course, the excellent cuisine – it has been said that Galician seafood is the best in Spain. |
|
Accommodation |
Inns of Spain has one hotel in Santiago, the 21 room Miro Hotel, located just minutes away from the cathedral and la Plaza de San Roque. We also offer four other country hotels in Santiago’s surroundings. Another option for those eager to stay in the city itself, is the Parador de Santiago. |
