Following this, we'll visit the library of the Cathedral to discuss the Codex Calixtinus, a significant historical text known as the first travel guide in history, which faced an attempted theft.

Next, we'll undertake a guided tour of the interior of the Cathedral of Santiago. This will include detailed explorations of its chapels, High Altar, organs, and the renowned botafumeiro, including its uses.

We'll also walk around the Cathedral to learn about La Corticela and visit the tomb of Santiago Apostle.
