This is where the Way of St James ends, the long trek on the 9th century medieval pilgrimage route. Even if you don't actually hike much or don't at all it's worth popping into the town. It's the capital of Galicia and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Cathedral is where you should head. Pilgrim's come here for a daily noon time mass when they finish the camino as their countires of origin and starting point of their pilgrimage is announced. There's also a shrine here dedicated to St James who is said to be buried in the town.
