Leaving Porto, your journey brings you to the monumental city of Santiago de Compostela, where you will begin your private tour visit at the legendary Santiago de Compostela Cathedral.

The Praça do Obradoiro (Obradoiro Square) is the main and most famous square in the iconic city of Santiago de Compostela, the historic capital of Galicia. On your private tour, you will admire its magnificent surrounding landmarks, including the impressive Pazo de Raxoi, the historic Hostal dos Reis Católicos, and the majestic facade of the Santiago de Compostela Cathedral.
The Hostal dos Reis Católicos (Hotel of the Catholic Kings) was born as a Royal Hospital in 1499 to accommodate the numerous pilgrims who arrived from their journey along the legendary Camino de Santiago. Considered the oldest hotel in the world, this architectural gem is also one of the most luxurious and beautiful landmarks you will discover on your private tour.

On the way back to Porto, your private tour stops at the historic border town of Valença do Minho. Situated in northern Portugal right along the Spanish border and separated by the scenic Minho River, this historic town is dominated by its impressive 17th and 18th-century bulwark fortress.
