Santiago de Compostela Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Various sightseeing tours can be booked in the cathedral. A tour leads over the roofs of the cathedral. In addition to the beautiful view over Santiago, the guide also draws attention to small features that are on the roof. For example, it points to a stone trough in which - directly above the grave of James - in earlier times pilgrims burned their clothes.

Santiago de Compostela Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

Absolutely worth seeing and worth a visit. The service with the pilgrims, on the other hand, was longer and unspectacular without Spanish knowledge. The incense burner was not swung 🤙
