Ourense
Ourense is a junction city on the Camino, where the Via de la Plata meets the Camino Sanabrés for the final push into Santiago de Compostela. The city has been valued since Roman times for its natural hot springs, which still bubble up along the Miño River, and its old town holds one of Galicia's most striking medieval bridges and a cathedral with a richly carved portal.
Santiago de Compostela, Spain
Santiago de Compostela is the spiritual endpoint of the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage network that has drawn walkers to the tomb of Saint James for over a thousand years. Its granite old town, centered on the Romanesque cathedral, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the great pilgrimage cities of Europe.
