The Galician capital is known worldwide for being one of the most important spiritual pilgrimage centres for Christianity since the Middle Ages. In 1985, UNESCO declared Santiago de Compostela World Heritage Site for its great cultural and architectural richness.
Nowadays, with a population of 93.458 inhabitants (2007), Santiago has turned into a dynamic and young city. Very influenced by university life, Santiago offers a wide range of activities, art galleries, concerts, film festivals and above all the peace of its medieval streets that contrasts with the lively nightlife of the city.
