Santiago de Compostela is also known as the Camino;<\/strong> thousands of tourists set out on foot, some use bikes, others horse ride, but the final goal of all of them is the Cathedral in Santiago. This makes Santiago de Compostela one of the most sacred cities, well known by Christians from all over the world. Being the final destination in this road that blends spirituality with adventure, Santiago de Compostela has become one of the most visited cities in Spain. <strong>The Cathedral is the main attraction of the city: its majestic fa\u00e7ade makes it outstanding. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Apart from the Cathedral, the city has a lot more attraction. The historical centre, just like the centre of Salamanca, has been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. <strong>The streets and the squares host granite buildings that bring together centuries of history<\/strong>. <strong>Don\u2019t miss the Santiago de Compostela Museum<\/strong>, the <strong>Museum of the Galician People<\/strong>, and the Galician Art Centre.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An active city<\/strong><br \/>\nSantiago de Compostela is set in a very picturesque region. Surrounded by mountains and a valley, \u201cgreen\u201d is the word that best describes the city. Once you are done sightseeing, go visit the parks and the gardens; explore Alameda Park, the oak wood in Santa Susana, and the Belvis Park.<strong> For those who are very active individuals, a range of activities is at your disposal: water sports, adventure sports, and fishing. All of these are available in Santiago de Compostela<\/strong>. One can go kayaking or rafting, even scuba diving. For those who enjoy fishing, the rivers near Santiago de Compostela are rich in trout and salmon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accommodation<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you decide to go to Santiago de Compostela, choose a villa instead of a hotel. It is private, the owners can cook for you so you have the chance to taste the traditional dishes, and it is very comfortable. <strong>Choose a renovated historical house; you can find them in the Old Town, so you will be in the heart of the city. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tourists from all over the world come to Spain to visit Madrid and Barcelona, to see the bullfighting, or to watch the passionate flamenco dancers, but Spain has a lot more to offer than this.
