Take a holy trip to Santiago de Compostela cathedral
SPAIN // With a decorative Churrigueresque facade beckoning brightly to exhausted hikers hallucinating after weeks on the Camino de Santiago, Santiago de Compostela's glorious cathedral is a sight for sore eyes - and legs! Herein, legend decrees, lie the remains of St James the apostle. When you've finished admiring the famous Obradoiro facade (so famous it's imprinted on Spain's euro coins), duck inside to lap up the contrasting Romanesque interior, the largest of its kind in Spain and the terminus of Europe's most popular pilgrimage.
