What you can expect

Discover Santiago de Compostela from a different perspective on an experience that combines history, legends, cuisine, and Galician tradition. As night falls, the cobblestone streets and historic corners of the city take on a unique atmosphere, perfect for delving into the stories and mysteries that have surrounded Santiago for centuries.

The experience begins with a guided nighttime tour of the historic center, a World Heritage Site. Accompanied by a Meiga or a Druid, characters inspired by Galician folk tradition, you will learn about some of the city's most fascinating legends, as well as interesting facts, beliefs, and stories that are part of the cultural identity of Santiago de Compostela. For about an hour and a half, you'll explore squares, alleyways, and iconic landmarks while discovering the most enigmatic side of Santiago.

After the guided visit, you'll enjoy dinner in a traditional Galician restaurant, where you can taste a selection of typical specialties from the region. Depending on the season, the menu may include seafood, octopus, and other dishes representative of Galician cuisine, made with quality local products.

To top off the evening, you'll take part in one of the best-known rituals in Galicia: the Conjuro de la Queimada. As the drink burns and the traditional words are recited, you'll learn the meaning of this ancient ceremony linked to Galician folklore. According to tradition, the ritual serves to ward off evil spirits, break spells, and attract good luck.

An original and authentic experience for those who want to discover Santiago de Compostela beyond its monuments, combining culture, gastronomy, and popular traditions in an unforgettable evening.
