Ferrol: Santiago de Compostela Shore Excursion with Pickup

Embark on a captivating guided shore excursion from Ferrol Port to the iconic town of Santiago de Compostela, a destination steeped in history and spiritual significance. Your journey begins with a comfortable drive through the scenic Galician countryside, where rolling hills and lush landscapes provide a picturesque backdrop. Along the way, enjoy a panoramic view of the impressive Rand Bridge—one of the largest suspended bridges in Europe—stretching across the Vigo Ria. This strategic waterway, once the site of fierce naval battles between Spain and England during the 18th century, adds a layer of historical intrigue to your scenic drive.

Upon arriving in Santiago de Compostela, take part in a guided walking tour through its beautifully preserved old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its medieval architecture and rich cultural heritage.

Savor a delicious lunch at a recommended local restaurant before visiting the awe-inspiring Santiago Cathedral, the final stop on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. With memories made and photos captured, return to your ship in time for departure, concluding a day filled with culture, history, and scenic beauty.
