Overview

This tour intertwines the mystery surrounding the Templars and witches with the most deeply rooted legends.

We will meet at the Plaza del Obradoiro under a VIOLET umbrella to enter the world of the Templars. Do you know what they did? Were they present in Galicia? And in Santiago? Why are they linked to the Camino de Santiago?

We will also talk about the pilgrims who came to Santiago and never left and about the cursed house in the city of Santiago. In addition, we will deal with the subject of the witches or meigas? And their link with the Holy Inquisition you know what they say... "Habelas Hainas" so we will learn how to protect ourselves from the evils of the eye.

We will visit the less visited part of the city to learn about the curses and traditions that surround the land of the Santa Compaña and their belief in the afterlife, walking through the Plaza de la Quintana, Plaza de la Inmaculada, Plaza de San Martin, Church of Las Ánimas, Church of Santa María do Camiño and the cemetery of Santo Domingo de Bonaval

Book with us and let the VIOLET umbrella protect you from the afterlife... We are waiting for you!

The tour needs a minimum of 6 participants to take place.
