Overview

Your friend Oliver just finished the Camino de Santiago and arrived in the city of his dreams. There's one problem: he can't remember what he did yesterday, and his belongings are scattered across town. Help him retrace his steps through the Old Town before he has to leave.

This self-guided walking quest takes you on a 2-hour adventure through the medieval heart of Santiago de Compostela. Using the Questo app on your smartphone, you explore 12 stops across the Old Town: from the Cathedral's Praza do Obradoiro and the monastery of San Martiño Pinario to a hilltop viewpoint above the cathedral, piecing together what really happened to Oliver the night before.

Start whenever you like and explore 2.7 kilometres of Santiago's cobblestone streets at your own pace. Almost every stop has indoor shelter close by, making this a great option whatever the weather.

Perfect for first-time visitors, history lovers, and pilgrims who want to discover the Old Town beyond the cathedral square.
