Santiago de Compostela is the capital of the north eastern province of Galicia. With an unspoilt coastline of more 200 kms, Galicia has a much steadier pace than the more popular holiday spots in the southern and eastern regions of Spain. Its history can be traced back to the 9th century.
The famous Cathedral here is a destination of thousands of pilgrims throughout the year, who come to visit the shrine of Saint James.
Also in the town is what is claimed to be the worlds oldest hotel - Hostal Tres Reyes Catolics.
