Parador de Santiago de Compostela, Historic parador in Santiago de Compostela, Spain

The Parador de Santiago de Compostela stands on Praza do Obradoiro square, featuring stone walls, four interior cloisters, and large guest rooms.

Built in 1499 under Catholic Monarchs order as Hospital Real, this building provided shelter and medical care to pilgrims completing the Camino de Santiago.

The dining halls serve regional Galician dishes including octopus, fresh seafood, and almond cake, representing the traditional flavors of northwestern Spain.

Located 15 kilometers from Santiago Airport and 3 kilometers from the train station, the parador provides parking spaces and charging stations for electric vehicles.

The building maintains its original function of housing pilgrims, now as a hotel, making it the oldest operating hospitality establishment in the world.
