About Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela is the capital city of Galicia in northwest Spain. It's named for Saint James, one of the twelve Apostles of Christ, and in legend is his burial site. It's therefore become a pilgrimage destination, the focus of several routes known collectively as El Camino. With a population just under 100,000 in 2024, Santiago has a glorious cathedral and old city centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
