Resort Santiago de Compostela - hotel in Galicia

Located in the north-west of Spain, this Galician cathedral city has been a pilgrims' mecca for centuries and has loads of delights in store for sightseeing and history fans.

Built around a beautifully preserved old quarter of twisting granite streets, Santiago's jewel is its magnificent 11th century cathedral, said to house the remains of the Apostle St. James. Wander round this masterpiece to admire its ornate portico and interior, and stick around for noon when pilgrims are greeted with an extraordinary incense-burning ceremony. Elsewhere, you'll find masses of souvenir shops and traditional tapas bars and restaurants where you can feast on Galicia's delicious fresh seafood amid stunning Baroque architecture. Nighttimes needn't be quiet either - if you fancy stepping things up after a leisurely dinner, Santiago's many lively folk bars and nightclubs will oblige.
