Santiago de Compostela

City

Santiago de Compostela, alternatively abbreviated to Santiago or Compostela, is the capital of the autonomous community of Galicia, Spain. It is located in the province of A Coruña, in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. The city has its origin in the shrine of Saint James the Great, now the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, as the destination of the Way of St. James, a leading Catholic pilgrimage route since the 9th century. In 1985, the city's Old Town was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Santiago de Compostela has a very mild climate for its latitude with heavy winter rainfall courtesy of its relative proximity to the prevailing winds from Atlantic low-pressure systems.

The local larder

What people eat in Galicia when they eat well.

Pulpo á feira

Boiled in a copper pot, with paprika, coarse salt and oil; best on fair day.

Albariño

Atlantic white from the Rías Baixas: fresh, saline and made for seafood.

Empanada gallega

Filled with marinated pork, cod or sardines; thin pastry, generous filling, and good cold too.

Queixo de tetilla

Mild, creamy and unmistakably shaped; for dessert with quince paste.

Markets and local produce

Almost every village has its market day and its producers: the cheesemaker, the baker, the vegetable garden next door. Ask at the tourist office or the bar on the square; they'll tell you where to buy straight from the maker.

Market day: Wednesday
