Lugar emblemático, lástima que siempre esté tan concurrido y la última vez que fui me pareció que estaba sucio el casco histórico una pena pero hay que ir siempre

La Plaza del Obradoiro es mucho más que un espacio urbano; es el alma histórica y espiritual de Santiago de Compostela. Situada frente a la imponente fachada barroca de la Catedral, esta plaza es el punto final del Camino de Santiago, y cada piedra parece contar una historia de fe, arte y encuentro.
