SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA is the current capital of Galicia and one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. The old world-famous center of European pilgrimage, its Romanesque cathedral, with a grandiose Baroque facade, constitutes the center of life in Santiago.

The city has many other interesting buildings, such as the Old University, the Romanesque Collegiate Church of Santa Maria del Sar, the Gelmirez Palace and the magnificent Reyes Catolicos (Catholic Monarchs) Hotel, currently a luxurious hotel, or 'Parador'.
