Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Cathedral De Santiago de Compostela, Praza do Obradoiro S/N, 15704, Santiago de Compostela Spain

We will begin with a brief historical introduction, to later begin a guided walking route, explaining the facades of the Cathedral with the squares and monuments that surround it. Thus we will see the facades of Platerias (the only Romanesque façade that is preserved), Obradoiro (masterpiece of Fernando de Casas y Novoa), Azabachería (main entrance door of the pilgrims in the EM) and Quintana (where we find the Holy Door and the Monastery of San Paio de Antealtares, founded in the 9th century to guard the tomb of the Apostle). And a lot of spectacular buildings and monuments, which we will discover together, through their legends and characters ...

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Parque de la Alameda, Rua do Campino da Ferradura, 15705, Santiago de Compostela Spain

We will pass through the Porta Faxeira, one of the main gates of the medieval wall and through which the pilgrims of the Portuguese Way entered.
We will end our visit in the Alameda Park, a 56, 087m2 garden, of great botanical and monumental interest, where we will learn about the unique history of the "Dos Marías" and will make a brief summary of other pieces of special interest that can be discovered, already individually, after finishing the visit.

Stop At: Monasterio de San Martin Pinario, Praza San Martino S/n, 15704, Santiago de Compostela Spain

Nos encantó la experiencia. Mónica lo hizo ameno y divertido, como cuando nos explicó qué hacer si se te aparece la Santa Compaña.... y el conjuro para la queimada... tomamos nota. Para recomendar y para repetir con ella cualquier tour.
