Santiago de Compostela Pilgrimage

Along the ‘Camino De Santiago’, otherwise known as ‘The Way of St. James’ in English, Santiago de Compostela is an essential stop because it is the site of St. James’s remains, which were discovered here in the 9^th century. You can visit his burial site in the Cathedral. It's the site that many religious pilgrims visit in search of spiritual meaning, but the route is also a popular track for cyclists, hikers and tour groups.

The Weather in Santiago de Compostela

June to September are the best months to visit because the weather warms up to beautiful summer days. This is also the driest time of the year, so drizzles won’t dampen your holiday.
