Santiago de Compostela Airport Guide

The absolute must see for any visitor to Santiago de Compostela is the cathedral where the saint’s remains were found. The cathedral is found in the Praza de Obradoiro, the centre of the city named after the first stonemason’s shop that began the construction of the important buildings around it. There you’ll find the Hostel of the Catholic Kings, built with funds donated by Catholic rulers of Europe to house the many poor pilgrims that visited. There are a number of museums around the city, almost all telling some part of the development of the pilgrimage route and the miracles wrought in the name of St James.
