With 7 days in Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. Beyond the spiritual magnetism, Santiago reveals itself through intimate details: the damp sheen on granite streets after a morning rain, the hidden Romanesque cloister of San Martín Pinario monastery, and the lively banter at Mercado de Abastos where vendors sell percebes (goose barnacles) and tetilla cheese. This is a city where medieval pilgrims' hostels now house boutique hotels, where university students debate in Plaza de Cervantes, and where every evening at 7:30 PM, the Botafumeiro—a massive incense burner—swings through the cathedral's transept in a breathtaking ritual of smoke and motion.
