About Santiago de Compostela
Santiago de Compostela sits in the extreme northwest of Spain, under 25 miles from the Atlantic Ocean. Its location in the A Coruña region means it has a temperate oceanic climate with mild summers and rainy winters and is home to just 98,000 friendly residents.
### The beginning of Santiago de Compostela
The history of Santiago de Compostela begins in the first century when a tomb believed to be that of the apostle St. James was discovered. Rulers built a church, and Christian worshipers flocked to the area.
In 997 AD, the Moorish caliphate of Córdoba destroyed everything but the tomb and its mystery went missing for centuries.
### Religious significance
In the 9th century, the tomb was rediscovered. As a result of the construction of significant buildings such as cathedrals, monasteries, pilgrim hospitals, and bridges, the region thrived with religious wealth. By the 12th century, the faithful were crossing the continent to witness the spiritual site. And thus the birth of the Camino de Compostela pilgrimage.
### Modern Santiago de Compostela
The region has continuously witnessed various religious rulers and unreliable finances for centuries. In the 20th and 21st centuries, the city and pilgrimage saw a rejuvenation.
Today, over 414,000 people trek the Camino annually. The city continues to be a vibrant spot with a rich cultural heritage and a thriving pilgrimage tradition.

The breathtaking route from Porto to Santiago de Compostela is one of the best in Europe. To ensure you make the most of this golden opportunity, follow these travel tips from local drivers and travel experts.
### Plan in advance
This destination is a sought-after city and pilgrimage destination. Many travel from Porto to Santiago de Compostela, so transportation providers often overinflate last-minute prices. Or worse, they might sell out in advance.
You should also book your transportation in the morning. You will get more time to explore, avoid rush hour, and have daylight to admire the scenery.
### Speak to your local driver
All Daytrip drivers speak English, and you can discover first-hand experiences or stories you won't find in a tourist guide.
Although they're not travel guides, they have extensive knowledge of the area. You can ask for food recommendations, the best bars, and hidden gems off the tourist map!
### Pack Accordingly
The weather along the Atlantic coast can sometimes be unpredictable. Pack clothes appropriate for the season. Comfortable walking shoes are essential to exploring Santiago de Compostela on foot or one of the many sightseeing spots along the way.
Driving can take around three hours. So be sure to pack snacks and water!

### Get lost in the Old Town

Today, it's still dedicated to protecting and documenting the trails. You can learn all this and more through one of the in-depth tours, which cost only €2.40.

“We used MyDayTrip twice - once from Santiago de Compostela, Spain to Porto, Portugal and a 2nd trip from Porto to Lisbon. Very convenient way to travel with door to door service and the ability to stop at a few places in between. One driver was quiet and the other very talkative providing information of the area and ideas of what to do while at our stops. Very flexible with the amount of time at each stop. I would recommend this service!”

“We booked a car and driver to go from Santiago, Spain to Porto, Portugal. The booking process was easy and it offered some great suggestions for stops along the way. The price was competitive and we thought it was quite fair. Our driver was early. He was dressed professionally and helped with our bags. He was incredibly polite and courteous. On the two stops we made on the way to Porto, he encouraged us to take our time…we were not rushed into the scheduled timetable. He also offered helpful tips about sights and restaurants. We will definitely use this agency again.”
“Our Daytrip was perfect! Miguel was waiting for us when we came outside of the hotel. He was knowledgeable about Pontevedra, so we didn’t have to waste time figuring out where to go when we got there. Miguel was a good driver and a pleasure to talk to.”
“We had a very good experience booking our transfer online from Santiago de Compestela to Porto. Our driver Rui B was lovely, very smart and professional, his car was spotless and he is a very safe driver. He was a few minutes late which made me nervous and my only issue is that I could not easily find information on the website about what to do in case of 'no shows.' I did however email the company and received a quick response even though it was 7am. All in all a great experience, I will definitely use them again, and would request Rui B if i was in his region.”

“We needed a transfer from Santiago, Spain to Porto, Portugal. We are so happy with the service you provided. Igor, our driver, was punctual and made us feel safe and comfortable. And he even gave us a thank you gift! We enjoyed the ride he provided and will definitely use your service in the future.”
“There are not enough complimentary words to describe our experience with Miguel. He was on time, very personable, extremely helpful, safely delivered us to our destination and went above and beyond our expectations.
We would recommend Daytrip, and especially Miguel, to anyone needing a reliable driver and safe experience. Team Daytrip also did a great job driving our friend from St. Tropez to Barcelona and we really appreciate your team’s professionalism.
Why would anyone want the stress of driving in Europe when Daytrip makes it so easy ???
Thanks for everything.”
“We used Daytrip to get from Porto to Santiago de Compostela. It was a great service, especially for two Kiwis who are nervous to drive on the “wrong” side of the road. We had none of the stress of driving on strange roads and could have a proper look at the scenery. We took the recommended stopoff at Vigo for lunch and had some delicious seafood.
Our driver, Rui, was friendly and spoke English and the car was clean and comfortable.”
“We used Daytrip transfer services from Santiago De Compostella to Porto. I was really impressed by the services and I will highly recommend Daytrip trip to my clients (I am in the travel business).
Artur arrived even before scheduled time, his car was spotless, clean, like new. He was very polite, his English was excellent.”
“We used this service to transfer from Porto in Portugal to Santiago De Compostela as the public transportation between these 2 locations is lengthy and would have taken a large chunk out of our day.
Great experience. Door to Door, our driver Vitor was very professional and provided waters, candies, even stopped to break for coffee and a view.
While we could have rented a car ourselves, the stress of figuring out where to go, changing toll systems, plus one way surcharges made this a less desirable option. hiring private transfer was the best decision for a stress free day.
Excellent service would definitely recommend.”
