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.

However, during our trip in early September, it only took us about 15 minutes to enter around 4 pm. So, it might be worth it to visit later in the day. 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.

This is a historical site so there is history to be seen. Stop by with the family, if you go in the winter make sure that you are bundled up as it gets very windy and cold.

When it come to my vacations there is nothing that I enjoy more than visiting historical sites and…read morelast week I had the incredible opportunity to visit the Torre de Hércules in La Coruña during my vacation, and it was nothing short of awe-inspiring! This lighthouse is not only a magnificent architectural marvel, but it also carries with it centuries of history. Originally built in the 2nd century by the Romans, the Torre de Hércules is the oldest working lighthouse in the world. It was constructed under the reign of Emperor Trajan and is believed to have been designed by the architect Gaius Sevius Lupus. The tower served as a guiding beacon for ships navigating the treacherous waters along the northwestern coast of Spain. Getting to the site involves a fairly steep walk up a hill, and once you're there, you'll need to climb the stairs to reach the top of the tower. It's a workout, for sure, so I recommend being in decent physical condition if you plan to make the ascent. But trust me, the climb is well worth it--the views from the top are absolutely breathtaking. On a clear day, you can see the stunning Galician coastline stretch for miles! What makes this site even more impressive is how well it's been preserved and maintained. Since 2009, it's been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, ensuring its careful conservation and protection. Inside the tower, there are informative displays that take you through its historical significance, adding depth to the visit. I couldn't give anything less than a five stars on this review, because whether you're a history buff or just looking for a unique landmark to visit, Torre de Hércules is a must-see in La Coruña!
