Santiago de Compostela is the capital town of Galicia and is probably best known for being at the end of the 'Way of St. James' pilgrimage route. Car rental at Santiago de Compostela Airport ensures that you can easily drive part of the route and visit the town's famous cathedral where the remains of St. James are said to be buried. A real treat for history fans, the old town is a UNESCO world heritage site, though thanks to the University which was founded in the 16th century, the city also has a vibrant social and nightlife scene.
