About this experience
Arrival in Santiago, where we will begin with a visit
guided on foot through its historic center for an approximate duration
of 1 hour and a half, we will know the anecdotes that hide
its narrow streets, its cobbled squares and its atmosphere
magical. And what would it be like to come to Santiago and not see its Cathedral?
To do this, you will have included a tour of its interior, we will tour its
museum and we will make the famous visit to the Saint.
Now that you are experts in the city, you will have free time
to enjoy the old city. Finally, we will head to
the City of Culture, a great architectural work of
vanguard settled in one of the three mountains that surround
Santiago de Compostela, from which you will have views
unrivaled in the city.
The arrival time will be indicative, as well as the itinerary may
vary depending on the cruise's stay in its port.
