Situated in the south of the La Coruna province in Galicia, Northwest Spain is the monumental town of Santiago de Compostela. The town is actually the capital of the Galicia region and is recognised through legend as the final resting-place of the Apostle James - the first of the Twelve Apostles to suffer martyrdom at the hands of Herod. For centuries, the town has been the centre of European pilgrimage and is an awe-inspiring place in which to buy Spanish property.
Not surprisingly, given its history, Santiago de Compostela is the most popular tourist destination in Northwest Spain. People travel from all over the world to pay homage to the Apostle James, and to view the historic sites in honour of the Saint. But Santiago de Compostela is not just about history - the city is home to one of the most famous universities in Europe, so ensuring that the streets of Santiago de Compostela are humming with the culture of youth.
Santiago de Compostela offers many types of Spanish property suitable for use as a holiday home, retirement home or rental property. In the city, luxury villas, apartments and townhouses are among some of the types of Santiago de Compostela property that can be purchased, while just outside the city there is a wealth of opportunity to develop derelict Santiago de Compostela property into that dream villa in Spain.
