The square and its atmosphere is amazing. Full of pilgrims enjoying their moment of glory after the arduous sacrifice that led them to make their way. Congratulations pilgrims. Take your time to enjoy your moment calmly because life is made of these kinds of moments.

The Plaza del Obradoiro (Praza do Obradoiro in Galician) is the most important and emblematic square in Santiago de Compostela, the final point of the Camino de Santiago and one of the most iconic historical spaces in Spain.

The square is surrounded by four large buildings, each representing a fundamental facet of the city's history:
Santiago Cathedral – Obradoiro Façade
Hostal de los Reyes Católicos (Parador Nacional)
Pazo de Raxoi (City Hall)
College of San Xerome
