Tour description

I propose a new tour focused on Santiago's most modern buildings .
Have you heard of Álvaro Siza? César Portela? Antón García Abril? And... Peter Eisenman? On this tour, you'll learn about their influence and their constructions, along with those of other 20th-century architects.

Our meeting point is Plaza del Obradoiro . There, with an introduction to contemporary architecture and its impact on the city of Santiago, we'll set off to explore the most beautiful buildings visited by students and the curious.

Although it may not seem like it , our journey is long... so be prepared for these 2 hours!

Simeon Estate... yes, yes! The bank!
Auditorium of Galicia
Juan XXIII Avenue
San Roque Square
Santo Domingo de Bonabal Park
A view of the City of Culture... one of the most impressive buildings of our era!!

We'll undoubtedly explore new streets and get to know the city beyond its ancient medieval walls, as the historic center isn't the only thing you should visit in Santiago.
We will end the visit with a beautiful panoramic view of the city of Santiago.
