Santiago de Compostela

Santiago de Compostela is the capital city of Galicia, Spain, and one of the most important places in Catholicism because it is reputed to be the place where St. James, one of the twelve Apostles of Christ, is buried.

The traditional way of getting to Santiago de Compostela is by walking about 780 km from St. Jean Pied-de-Port in France, on the Way of St. James but obviously, you can also fly. It was declared by the UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its cathedral and old city center.
