Beautiful Spanish city ‘everyone should visit’ – Ryanair flights cost £22 in August | Europe | Travel

Spain is a beautiful country that has plenty to offer. However, during the summer season, travel there can be quite expensive. On top of that, places like Barcelona or Valencia can become very overcrowded. Luckily, there is a city in northern Spain that’s slightly quieter, and getting there won’t break the bank in August.

Santiago de Compostela is the capital of Galicia and the final stop on the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage route walked by thousands every year. The city’s cathedral is said to hold the remains of Saint James the Apostle and has been attracting visitors since the 9th century.

But it’s not just pilgrims making the trip. Travellers say the city is full of charm and history. 

One reviewer on TripAdvisor wrote: “This is the kind of place everyone should visit at least once in their life.”

Another said: “Santiago de Compostela truly exceeded all my expectations. Having walked a section of the Camino, arriving in the Praza do Obradoiro and seeing the cathedral for the first time was an incredibly moving experience. 

“The atmosphere is electric, a beautiful blend of spiritual reverence and vibrant city life.”

The cathedral is the city’s most famous landmark. It features Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque elements and stands at the centre of a large square where pilgrims often gather after completing their journey.

Inside, visitors can see the Portico da Gloria, visit the crypt, and, on special occasions, watch the huge botafumeiro (incense burner) swing across the church.

Rooftop tours are also available and offer stunning views of the city below.

The old town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is made up of granite streets, small squares, and historic buildings. 

It’s a great place to walk around, stop at cafes, and enjoy traditional Galician food. Local dishes include pulpo a feira (octopus), scallops, and Tarta de Santiago.

Ryanair flies from London Stansted to Santiago de Compostela, and there are several dates where a one-way flight costs less than £25.

At the time of writing, the cheapest tickets are available for just £22.

One tourist wrote: “The historical centre is incredibly well-preserved, and you could spend hours just wandering through its ancient streets, discovering hidden plazas and beautiful architecture.”

The Mercado de Abastos, the city’s main food market, is also worth visiting. 

It’s one of the most popular places in Santiago and offers fresh seafood, local cheeses and wines, and ready-to-eat tapas.

Another visitor said: “From the moment you step into the old city, you’re transported. 

“The granite buildings, the arcades, and the constant buzz of pilgrims and locals create an incredible ambiance.”

Santiago is a walkable city and can be explored in just a couple of days. While it does get busy during peak pilgrimage season, travellers say there are still quiet corners to enjoy and plenty of green space, like Alameda Park and Bonaval.
