Itinerary and highlights

Pick up at the client's hotel and travel to Santiago de Compostela

Visit to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela to attend the pilgrim mass celebrated at the cathedral's main altar every day at noon. One of the cathedral's greatest symbols is the botafumeiro, perhaps the largest incense burner in the world, which functions during the main solemnities as a tribute from the city of Santiago to the pilgrim.

Meanwhile, we take a panoramic visit to Praça do Obradoiro, its magnificent cathedral and the Parador Hostal de los Reyes Católicos.

Free lunch

Travel between Santiago and Valença do Minho

Considered one of the largest open-air shopping areas in Europe, the area inside Fortaleza de Valença is full of traditional shops. It is a unique experience that impresses everyone who visits Valença!
