Hotels in Santiago de Compostela, Spain

Santiago de Compostela is an eclectic mix of UNESCO-protected heritage and trendy restaurants and bars. The Spanish city’s wine trail follows the bars and tavernas of Rua do Franco all the way through town to Obradoiro Square, enabling you to sample local delicacies like Galician octopus as you sip wine from across the country. Nearby, a street called Rua de Raíña is where the locals drink - and where you’ll find cocktail bars, refined restaurants and local beer.

Served by its own international airport, Santiago de Compostela is popular with tourists travelling along the Way of St James from Bilbao, which is 348 miles (560km) along the Northern Spanish coast.

The city’s historic Old Town draws visitors from all over the world, but the new town will show you another side to this vibrant city. If you’re looking at hotels near Santo Domingo de Boneval Park, you’ll be able to enjoy the green space close to the CGAC (Galician Contemporary Arts Centre) and the Museum of the Galician People, in the grounds of the old convent.
