Faramello Palace

Historical landmark

👍👍 While visiting A Coruña, I traveled an extra 93km using busses and trains to visit Faramello Pazo and am so so glad I did. This is the place that dreams are made of. I have no words to describe the beauty, only to say that you need to experience it yourself. Gon was a wonderful host and being shown...

Porch of the Glory

Church

😠 The cathedral is great, BUT: we came from Germany to see Santiago de Compostela and a part of it is Pórtico de la Gloria. The website did not allow to book two weeks in advance. We called at least ten times two different landlines and tried the same on a given mobile number. No one in none of them...

Miradoiro da Catedral

Scenic spot

👍👍 Such a great view of the city spreading out and below! You get a good sense of the city's size and can see a bit more of the buildings than you do just walking in the streets. This is a good sized park with paths, statues and eucalyptus trees from Australia. Take in the city from a bench here while...

Obradoiro Square

Historical landmark

👍👍 La plaza es fantástica, es inolvidable entrar en la plaza y ver la fabulosa fachada de la catedral. Por dentro es un lugar increíble, lleno de historia, lo único que no me gustó fue que antes era gratis visitar toda la catedral, las catacumbas...todo.... Y ahora te piden dinero por ver cada cosa .

Porta do Camiño

Historical landmark

👍👍 He vivido en Santiago de Compostela muchos años. Esta foto de A Porta do Camiño, donde se encuentran Las Casas Reales. Antes de 1992, casi no había Peregrinos pero desde 1992 en que D. Manuel Fraga, Presidente de la Xunta del Reino de Galicia, promovió la Peregrinación a Santiago de Compostela, este...

Fountain of Horses

Historical landmark

👍👍 Located in the Plaza de las Platerías south of the Cathedral of Santiago!! Composed of different Renaissance details, a fountain with four Baroque-style horses that quickly catch the visitor's attention! Dates from 1825 [J.Pernas]!! Above the pedestal stands the Marmòrica or Marmárica Ark, which...

Fonte do Toural

Historical landmark

👍👍 The fountain in Plaza del Toural has a somewhat sinister history. It's curious. According to the records, it was requested by citizens around 1584 and finally installed in 1820, that is, almost three hundred years late, the bureaucracy was also slow in those times. The reason for this delay was that...

Dolmen de Cabaleiros

Historical landmark

👍👍 Dolmen muy bien conservado, con acceso libre. Totalmente recomendada la visita, ya que no se tarda nada en ver algo con tantísimos años de historia. No hay parking para el coche pero se puede aparcar delante de una pequeña nave que está justo al lado.

4.40 (97 reviews) (~21.41 km from centre)

Porta Itineris Sancti Iacobi

Historical landmark

👍👍 Al llegar ya este lugar se puede decir que ya estás en Santiago, solo nos separan 4km del pórtico de la Gloria, el cansancio y las heridas acumuladas del camino pasan a un segundo plano por la emoción de estar llegando al final de nuestro camino. Foto obligada para inmortalizar la entrada a nuestro...

Petroglifo Castriño De Conxo

Historical landmark

👍👍 Debería estar mejor cuidado el camino, el cartel, el recinto. Es un lugar histórico datado en el 3000 a.C. El acceso es un camino no asfaltado y por el bosque antes de llegar a una rotonda. Hay un cartel que lo indica
