The History of Santiago de Compostela

Galicians of faith believe that Santiago Apostol (also known as St James the Apostle) spent his life preaching in Galicia before dying in Palestine. Later, he was buried in Santiago de Compostela after being delivered back by a stone boat. His tomb was thought to be found in 814 by Pelayo, a religious hermit who was following the path of a guiding star.

After the discovery, King Alfonso II of Asturia had a church built on top of the holy remains and immediately pilgrims began to flock to the site. By the 11th century the pilgrimage route along the Camino de Santiago was a huge phenomenon that swathed Europe, bringing added funds to the city. During this time, Bishop Gelmirez managed to secure archbishop status for Santiago and began erecting several churches around the city in the 12th century.

A Pilgrim's Guide to Eating and Drinking in Santiago de Compostela

As well as a rich history, Santiago de Compostela boasts a burgeoning foodie scene made up of traditional Spanish cuisine with age-old local delicacies. You can't leave the city without trying octopus, the region's most iconic dish. Known locally as 'pulpo a feira', it was traditionally eaten on market day but you can find it in most places throughout the city.

To pick up some nibbles as you explore head to the Mercado de Abastos, the city's main food market that has a rustic, rural atmosphere. Farmers from surrounding regions flock to the market to sell their homemade goods, but there are also plenty of up-and-coming restaurants that have opened up in recent years. You can always grab a few ingredients and head back to our Santiago de Compostela apartments and cook up a storm in the kitchen, Galician style.

Thirsty yet? Head out onto De Vinos, the wine trail. Spanning the length of Rua do Franco, this is Santiago's main street for nightlife. Many of the authentic bars show off their foodie treats from the window, where you'll be party to displays of octopus, shellfish, and other local delicacies. Most places provide a bite to eat with each drink ordered; expect traditional Spanish dishes like croquettes and tortillas.
