See the 17th Century Basilica dedicated to St Ignatius and visit his family home which contains the place referred to as the Room of the Conversion. Continue on to Bilbao airport where you will board your 1 hour flight to Santiago de Compostela. Upon arrival you will be met by your tour guide and driver and head to your hotel for dinner and overnight.

Today you will begin with a visit to the Cathedral of St. James, the center of Santiago de Compostela. The route to this church from points across Europe was known as the Way of St James, and it has existed for over a thousand years. It was one of the most important Christian pilgrimages during medieval times. Here you will have the opportunity to climb the stairs behind the high altar to visit the crypt where the relics of St. James are preserved, touch the central pillar (Portico de La Gloria), view the 'botafumeiro' and admire the wealth of medieval art inside the Cathedral, before visiting the cloister museum. Dinner and overnight in Santiago de Compostela.

Depart Santiago de Compostela for flight home.
