Santiago Compostela (UNESCO) Tour - ( from Porto)
Upon arrival, you will be immediately struck by the sense of history in this old city, with its main plaza, narrow winding streets, dozens of ancient buildings and the grand Cathedral, one of the largest in Europe displaying an impressive Romanesque facade. You will see the silver crypt containing the ashes of St. James, view the dramatic barrel-vaulted ceiling, admire the magnificent organ and appreciate the church's sheer size! While the church is the star attraction of Santiago de Compostela, the town is full of other architectural gems. The Old Quarter was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985 and includes the historic setting of Palacio de Rajoy and the deluxe hotel, Parador dos Reis Catolicos, one of the oldest hotels in the world having served visitors as far back as 1499 when it offered lodging to pilgrims who made their way to the city. Return to Porto stopping in the fishing village of Combarro and the charming walled city of Valenca for an excellent taste of both Portugal and Spain!
