Amazing place! To…read morepreface, we were just your average tourists, unlike those who "pilgrim" their way here (hats off to those hardcore hikers). Nevertheless, breathtaking! Maybe not as grand as the Vatican, but after being to both, I love this cathedral much more... Great views, great vibe, great mass (if you're into such a Catholic thing), and a great cobblestone surrounding city to get your walk on... It's amazing! If you've never, you should! Prost!

Clearly this is a must-see site if you visit Santiago de Compostela.

In addition to viewing the wonderful Romanesque interior, you can also visit the tomb of St. James. Be aware that there is another line to view the tomb. Also, it's set up where you are not really allowed to linger around the tomb because it's pretty much a walk in, walk out situation. Admission is free for both the cathedral and tomb. Also, are not allowed to bring large rucksack; however, you can bring smaller bags.

DNI was around €12 and passport was €30. The uniformed officers were very helpful, can't say the same for the chap who was operating the documentation desk. He kept asking me for money after I'd already handed over the cash for my docs. Do keep in mind, this is an old town in a quiet region of Spain - many have not left the country and do not speak English. Hope your Spanish or Gallego is good!
