Santiago de Compostela is the capital of Galicia in northwestern Spain, and one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in the world as the traditional burial site of Saint James the Apostle. The city is best known as the endpoint of the Camino de Santiago, a network of ancient pilgrimage routes that attract hundreds of thousands of walkers each year from across the globe. Its medieval old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, centres on the grand Plaza del Obradoiro and the imposing Romanesque-Baroque cathedral. Beyond pilgrimage, visitors come for Galician cuisine, vibrant student nightlife, and the region's lush green landscapes.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Santiago de Compostela, Spain yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
