Santiago de Compostela On Your Own

El Ferrol, for Santiago de Compostela

Shopping time included

by coach & on foot

Do you enjoy exploring independently? If so, and you have a desire to visit Spain’s most celebrated place of pilgrimage, Santiago de Compostela, then this experience is the ideal choice.

Departing from the port, sit back and enjoy the passing scenery during an approximately 70-minute unguided transfer to Santiago de Compostela. Upon arrival at the coach park, your local escort will lead you on a walk to Obradoiro Square in the city centre. You will then have approximately three hours of free time to explore at leisure.

Following the designated free time, your local escort will meet you in Obradoiro Square to lead you back to the coach park where you will rejoin your bus for the return transfer to El Ferrol.
