Santiago is one of the most popular destination for catholic pilgrims in the whole world. Is the capital of Galiza (Spain), and is the location of the Santiago Cathedral (1075 – 1128), where the remains of Santiago the Apostolic can be founded. The Routes to Santiago are humanity heritage by UNESCO and are used by thousands every day on the journey to the religious capital of the Iberian Peninsula. On our tour we will dedicate the morning to visit the cathedral, and after lunch hanging around the middle age city of Santiago, discovering some secrets in its narrow streets.
On the return there’s also a stop in Valença do Minho, the Portuguese border city at the top north. Here we will focus our visit in the fortification with roots from the XII and visible reconstruction from the XVIII. A unique view for the city, Minho river (natural border), and Spanish side.

We had always wanted to visit Santiago de Compostela and were beyond lucky to find Ricardo Costa to take us there from Porto. We arrived at our apartment right on time and was a fun companion for the day and was very knowledgeable about Santiago. He told us about the history and significance of every aspect of the Cathedral. We also stopped at a charming walled city on the way called Valenca do Minho. It was an unexpected place and we really enjoyed it. Ricardo stopped at a typical cafe for a sweet treat on the way and another for lunch. We really enjoyed the day and it was exactly what we wanted. We will definitely call on Ricardo again the next time we are in Portugal.
