Activity itinerary

Parque da Alameda

  • 35m
The experience begins in the green heart of Santiago de Compostela — the Parque da Alameda, at the main entrance next to the statue As Duas Marías. Here travellers are introduced to Galicia through a refined, personal narrative: Spanish and Galician culture, daily life, and the identity of the city beyond tourism. The park itself is part of the storey. You learn its history and role as one of the city’s most important historic gardens and social spaces. It is also a botanical highlight, filled with mature trees, shaded walkways, and carefully preserved greenery. Some of the species are part of Galicia’s protected natural heritage, making this one of the most unique urban green spaces in the region. This first stop sets a calm, elegant tone for the rest of the private tour.

Xardíns da Ferradura

  • 15m
Horseshoe (Herradura) area / Alameda Park continuation: This stop introduces the history of the Alameda Park and its creation as one of Santiago’s most important historic green spaces. According to local tradition, its paths were designed as three elegant promenades used by different social groups of the city, reflecting how Santiago once organised its urban life. Today, these alleys form a beautiful walking route that combines history, landscape design, and local identity.

As Duas Marias

  • 10m
As Duas Marías (The Two Marías): This iconic monument in Alameda Park is one of Santiago’s most beloved symbols. It represents two real sisters from the city who became a local legend for their daily walks through the park, dressed in a distinctive and eccentric style that made them unforgettable to generations of locals. Over time, they became part of Santiago’s collective memory — a symbol of individuality, quiet rebellion, and the city’s human stories hidden behind its historic streets. Today, their sculpture is not just a meeting point, but a piece of living urban folklore that connects visitors to the emotional history of the city.

Praza do Obradoiro

  • 30m
Plaza del Obradoiro: This is the main square of Santiago de Compostela and the symbolic heart of the city. Surrounded by monumental architecture, it brings together the history of the city’s formation, including the Cathedral of Santiago, the former Royal Hospital (now Parador), and historic administrative buildings that define its unique skyline. Here travellers are introduced to the storey of Saint James (Santiago), one of the apostles of Christ, whose tomb made this city one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in the world. Pilgrims arriving through the Camino de Santiago have reached this square for centuries, completing their journey at the cathedral. This stop creates a powerful sense of arrival and meaning — a place where history, faith, and human journeys converge.

Cathedral De Santiago de Compostela

  • 30m
Santiago Cathedral (interior visit): The experience continues inside the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the world and the final destination of the Camino de Santiago. Inside, travellers enter a space of silence, light, and profound atmosphere, where centuries of history, art, and spirituality come together. The visit includes time to feel the interior of the cathedral, observe its architecture, and experience the unique energy of the sacred space. A meaningful highlight of the visit is the moment of connection with the tradition of Saint James (Santiago) inside the cathedral — a symbolic gesture that completes the pilgrim’s journey for many visitors.

Praza da Quintana de Vivos

  • 15m
Praza da Quintana: Praza da Quintana is one of the most atmospheric squares in Santiago de Compostela, known as a traditional meeting place for locals and a space where daily city life unfolds between history and legend. Here travellers discover the famous Holy Door (Puerta Santa / Porta Santa), which is opened only in special Holy Years, symbolising forgiveness and spiritual passage for pilgrims of the Camino de Santiago. From this square, we also share the storey of the nearby Monastery of San Paio de Antealtares and the connection to the ancient origins of the city and its sacred development around the cathedral complex. This is a place where the city feels especially layered — combining everyday life, pilgrimage tradition, and centuries of sacred history in one space.
