Santiago de Compostela, Spain

Music & Arts Tour in Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the music drifting from open doors, the murals on unexpected walls, and the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that guidebooks overlook. Walking is the only way to find them.

Santiago de Compostela is the spiritual endpoint of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, a granite city of Baroque splendor with one of the world's most famous cathedrals and a vibrant Galician food scene.

Top Music & Arts Tour Spots

•Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela — the destination of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, a Romanesque-Baroque cathedral housing the reputed tomb of the Apostle James with a newly restored Portico of Glory
•Praza do Obradoiro — the monumental square before the cathedral where pilgrims complete their journey, flanked by the Hostal dos Reis Católicos, the world's oldest hotel
•Old Town (Zona Monumental) — a UNESCO-listed granite old town of arcaded streets, Romanesque churches, and baroque convents surrounding the cathedral, virtually unchanged since the Middle Ages

Hidden Music & Arts Tour Gems

•Monastery of San Martin Pinario — a massive Benedictine monastery with an ornate Baroque facade, often overlooked because it sits in the cathedral's shadow
•Parque de Bonaval — a former convent garden converted into a contemporary sculpture park, with views over the old town rooftops
