· A guided walk into backstreets most visitors walk straight past.
The old town hides more than Obradoiro. This route slips into the arcaded back streets, small squares and granite steps where locals actually live, trading the famous facades for quieter corners and the stories behind them. Comfortable shoes recommended.
