Santiago de Compostela Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Santiago de Compostela is the most beautiful city I have ever been to. Those people I met were so amazing and those animals are so beautiful. I recommend everyone who wanna come to Spain for two months should come and visit this fabulous place. It might be the wonderful place you have ever been.

Santiago de Compostela is the capital of the autonomous region of Galicia in Spain

According to legend, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus, St. James, is buried here, making it one of the Catholic pilgrimage sites. Since the Middle Ages, pilgrims have been coming here continuously, and a famous pilgrimage route, the Way of St. James, has been formed from various places in France to the north of Spain. In 1985, the old city of Santiago de Compostela was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site.

epic sunrise

We were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful sunrise when the forecast was to be rainy the whole day. The epic colour of the sky made our 2nd day Camino walk an unforgettable experience, even we were in pain with the previous 22km walk. Having done couple of training before this Camino challenge did help us in some way, yet we still felt kinda exhausted. yet, we pushed on and completed our mission of walking 114km in 5 days. God bless us all.
