Upon disembarking in Coruña, you will be picked up at the cruise-ship passenger terminal to begin an excursion to Santiago de Compostela. After a one-hour bus ride, you will arrive in Santiago, where you will enjoy a 90-minute guided visit of the historic city center. The tour includes stops at the Alameda Park, the sculpture of Valle-Inclán, and the statue of Las dos Marías. The Alameda Park, a place of great importance for the people of Santiago de Compostela. This park offers a perfect blend of nature and art, with stunning panoramic views of the Cathedral from the Paseo de los Leones. Here, you will see the sculpture of Ramón María del Valle-Inclán, a famous Galician writer who is a symbol of Spanish literature.

Finally, the tour of the old town will take you to the majestic Obradoiro Square, the historical and spiritual epicenter of Santiago de Compostela. This emblematic square, surrounded by impressive buildings of different architectural styles, is the place where the routes of the Camino de Santiago converge and where thousands of pilgrims culminate their journey each year, filling the space with emotion and satisfaction upon reaching their destination.

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the spectacular views of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, a masterpiece of Romanesque art that stands majestically in the square. The main façade, known as the Portico de la Gloria, is a true sculptural gem that narrates biblical scenes and symbolizes heavenly glory, capturing the essence of the Christian faith that has attracted pilgrims for centuries. In addition to the cathedral, the square is surrounded by other historic buildings of great importance, such as the Hostal de los Reyes Católicos, a former pilgrims' hospital converted into a Parador, the Colegio de San Xerome, today the seat of the rectorate of the University of Santiago, and the Palacio de Raxoi, the current seat of the City Hall and the Presidency of the Xunta de Galicia.

Being in the Obradoiro square will allow you to soak up the unique atmosphere that defines Santiago de Compostela: a mixture of religious fervor, ancient culture and the energy of the pilgrims who, after traveling long kilometers, find in this place the end of their journey. It is a place where past and present intertwine, creating an experience that will leave a deep impression on you.

The Cathedral Museum, located within the complex, offers a deeper perspective on the history of the temple and the Jacobean cult.
