This itinerary takes you to a hallowed spot that was once the most popular destination in Spain—Santiago de Compostela, site of the tomb of Saint James the Apostle and goal of countless religious pilgrims for a millennium. Most of the destinations described are in the region of Galicia: basically, that part of Spain directly north of Portugal (the provinces of Lugo, Pontevedra, La Coruña, and Orense).
