Stories of Santiago de Compostela Self Guided Tour

About this activity

For twelve hundred years, people have walked for weeks to reach one point on the map, then dropped their packs on the granite of Praza do Obradoiro and wept. Santiago is not really a city. It is a finish line, and the whole place grew up around feeding, sheltering, and healing the strangers who arrived exhausted.

This self-guided audio walking tour carries you through that story. You will hear about a holy door that opens only a dozen times a century, a building that is only three metres deep, and see a carved woman condemned to hold a severed head.

Listen at your own pace on your phone, with no fixed departure and no group to keep up with. Start when you like, pause for tapas, resume when you are ready. Just you, Santiago, and the stories it kept.

Over 25,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours, and every tour comes with a full refund guarantee.
