SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA
Dicen que Santiago es el pueblo más grande del mundo y, al mismo tiempo, la ciudad más pequeña del planeta. Esta capital gallega combina las comodidades de las pequeñas localidades y las ventajas de las grandes ciudades sofisticadas. Se puede recorrer de una punta a otra en un tranquilo paseo y goza de las comodidades de las grandes capitales. Rincones solitarios y tranquilos y calles bulliciosas de bares de vinos comparten el mismo escenario. El centro histórico, declarado patrimonio de la humanidad por la UNESCO, es la joya de la corona. Construida piedra a piedra alrededor de su majestuosa catedral. El descubrimiento de la tumba del apóstol en el siglo IX transformó este lugar sagrado para siempre.
