Photography Tour in Santiago de Compostela

The best photos of Santiago de Compostela aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

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.
