Free Tour Hidden Santiago
♡ Save
Let yourself be surprised by the most incredible stories of the Galician capital on this free tour of the hidden Santiago. We will pass through its main tourist attractions and tell you curiosities that will leave you speechless.
We start at the Plaza de Platerias, where we will see the shell of Vieira that, according to legend, supports all the weight of the cathedral.
We continue crossing the Obradoiro and enter the historic area. We will discover there the oldest hotel in the city, the hidden chapel of the cathedral, the street walled up by a tragedy or even the oldest "pub" in the capital.
We will leave the old city towards Alameda park, where we will end up with magnificent views of the cathedral (a fantastic place to photograph)
You'll see a Santiago that if they don't show you, you wouldn't see.
Come and visit the Hidden Santiago with us!
