Travel

Santiago de Compostela is located in a region of north western Spain called Galicia (red box in the image).

Santiago has an international airport (12 km. far from the city) with daily flights to several Spanish cities:

• Barcelona

• Bilbao
• Las Palmas
• Madrid
• Palma
• Sevilla
• Tenerife Sur
• Valencia

And European destinations including:

• Amsterdam
• Brussels
• Geneva
• London Heathrow
• Paris Orly
• Zurich

For those attendants coming from Spain, rail and road links are also an option. Santiago has very good road connections with Madrid through A6 (Santiago-Madrid: 5 h. 30 m. by highway) and also with A Coruña, Pontevedra and Vigo through A9. There are also rail links connecting Santiago with most destinations in the Iberian Peninsula. Nevertheless, we only recommend train for short distances (attendants coming from Galicia).
