Alameda Park, Santiago
Alameda Park is Santiago de Compostela's main city park, a shaded green space of old trees and walking paths right at the edge of the historic center, popular with locals for a walk away from the granite streets of the old town. It offers one of the better classic views back over the cathedral's towers and the old town rooftops from its Paseo da Ferradura promenade.
It's not a major sightseeing destination in itself but a pleasant, low-key stop for a break during a day of walking the old town, especially for pilgrims finishing the Camino de Santiago who want a quieter green space after arriving at the cathedral.
