What to expect
Expect a structured evening ramble lasting two hours through Santiago's ancient streets, with your guide pausing at key monuments to unpack their layered histories. You'll see archive images on a tablet that anchor stories to actual sources—no invented nonsense, just solid historical grounding for tales of witchcraft, protection charms and medieval intrigue. The pace is steady but involves climbing and descending several staircase runs, so wear decent shoes. Headsets ensure you hear clearly even in narrow cobbled lanes. Children can join; prams work on most routes, though some tight passages may prove tricky.
Good to know
Staircase sections are unavoidable; not suitable for mobility issues. Bring layers—evenings cool down fast in Galicia. Headsets provided. Service animals welcome. Public transport stops nearby if you need an early exit.
