Overview

On this Private Tour of Santiago de Compostela you will discover the magic of a city full of history, spirituality and university life. We will walk through the narrow cobblestone streets of the Historic Quarter, declared a World Heritage Site, and we will reach the majestic Plaza del Obradoiro, where the emblematic Cathedral stands, the goal of thousands of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. We will tour charming squares, such as Quintana and Platerías, and we will know less traveled corners that keep the soul of the city.

To cap off the experience, we will enjoy a glass of wine or local beer accompanied by a typical Galician appetizer in a traditional bar, the perfect brooch to taste the authentic character of Santiago.

A complete, pleasant and close tour that combines history, spirituality and gastronomy to live the city in a unique way.

The Pazo de Fonseca, located in the historic center of Santiago de Compostela, is a Renaissance building from the 16th century that was originally the College of Santiago Alfeo, antecedent of the current University of Santiago de Compostela (USC). Its Plateresque-style facade and impressive cloister are some of its highlights. Inside, it houses the Xeral Library of the university and usually hosts exhibitions and cultural events.
Plaza del Obradoiro
  • 10m
The heart of Santiago de Compostela and a focal point for pilgrims. Surrounded by the imposing Cathedral, the Rajoy Palace, the Colegio de San Jerónimo and the Hostal de los Reyes Católicos, the square is an impressive setting. With a wide cobbled esplanade, it is a place where we will discover history, architecture and we will participate in the energy of the visitors who complete the Camino de Santiago.
Monasterio de San Martin Pinario (Pass by)
An imposing baroque structure with a rich history. Founded in the 10th century, it stands out for its architecture and its cultural and religious role. It is one of the largest monasteries in Spain and is home to artistic treasures and an impressive church. Its name comes from the "pinas" (pine cones) that formerly adorned the façade.
Praza da Quintana de Vivos
  • 15m
Surrounded by the Church of San Paio de Antealtares and the south façade of the Cathedral, the square exudes serenity. In its center is the Fountain of the Horses, and along its cobblestones, you can perceive the spiritual atmosphere that characterizes this city.
Praza das Praterías
  • 15m
It is one of the most emblematic places in the city and is steeped in history and culture. The square takes its name from the numerous silversmiths' workshops that used to occupy the area in the Middle Ages. In the center of the square stands the Fountain of the Horses, a baroque fountain that adds a touch of elegance to the surroundings. Around it, there are historic buildings with facades of great architectural beauty. Highlights include the façade of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, which rises majestically in the background, and the Church of Santa María Salomé. In addition to being a meeting point, the square is a witness to cultural events and celebrations that take place throughout the year, contributing to its importance as an emblematic space in the context of the Camino de Santiago.
Rúa do Vilar (Pass by)
A street of noble houses, as demonstrated by the Renaissance, baroque and neoclassical houses that we can find as we move along it. These noble residences, which respond to the prototype Galician urban pazo, are characterized by their large family shields and the quality of their stonework and ornamental forge.

In this emblematic square located next to the supply market, we will find the Church of San Fiz de Solovio, a temple of medieval origin considered one of the oldest in the city. According to tradition, here lived the hermit Paio, who would have discovered the tomb of the Apostle Santiago. Its current structure combines Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque elements, the result of various reforms over the centuries. Its sober façade and the interior of a single nave stand out.
