Santiago de Compostela, capital of the Community of Galicia, is the most visited city in Galicia, in part, because it is the final destination of pilgrims who make some route of the Camino de Santiago organized to visit the tomb of the Apostle Santiago, found inside its splendid Cathedral and for the enormous religious, cultural and gastronomic appeal that the city offers us.

This entails the need to meet the great demand that exists for parking for the private vehicles of people who have come to the city in this means of transport.
