Sit back and relax onboard your coach as you journey to Santiago de Compostela. During the drive a local escort will provide you with general information on this wonderful city, which is often referred to as one of the most beautiful cities in Spain.

As the old, world-famous centre of European pilgrimage, Santiago de Compostela boasts a magnificent Romanesque cathedral, with an impressive Baroque façade, which is the heart of the city. There are also many other interesting buildings, such as the Old University, the Romanesque Collegiate Church of Santa Maria del Sar and the Gelmirez Palace, to name but a few.

This option offers the perfect opportunity to adapt your day to suit your needs and make the very most of your time in this fascinating city. You will have approximately 3 hours to explore independently.

Enjoy superb views of the typical Galician countryside, before reaching Santiago de Compostela, which is undoubtedly the showpiece of Galicia.
