Today we had a guided tour of the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, conducted by Maria Salvador. We loved it and I think she is very prepared in the knowledge about the history of the Apostle Santiago. I found her to be one of the best guides with information that we could not stop listening to because it was very interesting the way she explained it.

Thank you Maria, a very interesting and entertaining visit. Many details that if you go without a guide you don't even know, it's worth seeing it with someone who explains it so well. Best regards.

I upload the photos of Manuel (I hope he does not get angry) so that if you see him go to him, because you will have an entertaining and fun guided tour at the same time, with his explanations of the cathedral of santiago and museum. recommended 100% the entrance cost us 40€ two people but it is worth not to queue to enter the cathedral. we visited santiago on 11/8/2023. Big Like for Manuel.
