The pilgrims’ cathedral, wild Atlantic coast and seafood.

Santiago de Compostela is the end of the Way of St James, with a granite old town around its cathedral. Galicia’s green coast has fjord-like rías, Albariño vineyards around Cambados and some of Spain’s best seafood, from octopus to scallops.
