To know Santiago de Compostela is to catch a brief glimpse of one of the nodes of Man’s spirituality. The city is located in a land crossed by a thousand rivers and is surrounded by a delicate tracery of water.
The rising sun glints from the surface of a sea; turbulent grey in winter and steel blue in springtime that, for centuries, has lapped on the beaches of A Coruña.
In the early XIX century, during the reign of the Catholic Kings and earlier, the province was a much smaller entity with its spiritual centre always being focused on Santiago de Compostela.
