Tour description

There are many places in Santiago de Compostela that preserve these legends about spirits and rituals . Our tour of streets, squares, corners, churches, and ancient cemeteries captures this popular memory of the city, which you should explore to better understand its way of life, where the cult of death and all things spiritual are lived naturally.

Our meeting point will be Plaza del Obradoiro. We'll tour the Chapel of Souls , where we recommend you say a prayer for the souls of the damned. Just in case...

Already in Plaza 8 de Marzo , you might encounter the spirit of the unjustly condemned blacksmith… Want to know his story? Also… no tour is complete without a cemetery! Bonaval Cemetery is the city's old cemetery, which still generates stories of spirits and apparitions.

A walk through the Jewish Quarter will be an interesting experience, as our guide shares the legends surrounding this sacred site, as well as those of Plaza de San Martín Pinario. In Plaza A Quintana Dos Mortos , you'll learn firsthand the story of its distinctive nocturnal specter. Is it a monk or a pilgrim?

Our unique tour continues through Plaza de Azabachería and Plaza del Obradoiro, where it is said that every day a miracle occurs and a soul is converted. Are you ready?

Let yourself be guided by our expert local guide, who will tell you the most incredible legends and anecdotes about wandering spirits, local characters who live on in the memory, strange sacred rites... If you're one of those who enjoy mystery, intrigue, and suspense, this free tour is for you!
