Hiking
The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is the most outstanding work of Romanesque art in Spain. It is also the final destination of all the Ways of St. James, which for centuries have led pilgrims from Christianity to the tomb of an apostle. As if that were not enough, it was the cornerstone for the construction of a monumental city, Santiago de Compostela, which was born in a sacred forest at the end of the world with the vocation of being a Holy City and a World Heritage Site.
