Tourist information
The BYMAT's 8th edition will take place at Santiago de Compostela, a lively university town in the north west of Spain with about 100.000 inhabitants.
One of the most beautiful of all Spanish cities, it attracts visitors from all over the world thanks to its fantastic monuments. The narrow streets of the Old Town are built from local granite and they are perfect for exploring on foot. The Praza do Obradoiro, with the great Baroque façade of the Cathedral, is especially glorious.
The artistic and historical importance of Santiago de Compostela was confirmed when, in 1993, the entire city was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This was further corroborated when it became a European city of culture for the year 2000.
We hope you enjoy these days in Santiago de Compostela!
