Full description

We will start at the cathedral museum to visit ancient ruins, the Choir of Master Mateo, the library, the chapter house, the cloister, the balconies... Did you know that the Codex Calixtinus is known as the first travel guide?

Next, we will go inside the Cathedral of Santiago to visit all its chapels in depth, analyze the main altar, the organs, the botafumeiro Do you know when it works and the speed it reaches?

We will continue walking and we will see what is special about the Corticela and, of course, we will visit the tomb of Santiago Apostle!

A sight not to be missed with a local guide specialized in Art History.

Let yourself be impressed by one of the greatest pilgrimage centers of all Christianity.
