About Plaza Galicia Lifestyle and Real Estate Options

Situated between Casco Histórico (historical centre) and the New Centre Ensanche—Santiago de Compostela’s two city centers—Praza de Galicia is an urban plaza boasting of wide roads, picturesque buildings and a lush park in the center. It houses a wide range of establishments including hotels, banks and restaurants. Shops with popular name brands can be found here, while the Centro Comercial Plaza de Galicia features a variety of local stores and stalls.

Buildings in the plaza feature exteriors that are modern yet heavily inspired by Baroque and Romanesque architecture prevalent in the Galician region. This is evident in the chiseled stone walls, arched doorways and ornate iron railings. The result is a plaza that exudes an old town charm while having the distinct flair of a modern shopping district. It’s idyllic for individuals who want a place with unique historical beauty, and at the same time a comfortable lifestyle with abundant amenities, lovely parks to enjoy, and easy access to transportation.

Praza de Galicia’s park features landscaped gardens, tall trees with thick foliage, benches, and a children’s playground. It also offers a large underground parking area. The Santiago de Compostela - Plaza de Galicia Bus Stop is also located on this plaza, where buses pick-up and drop-off passengers.
