ial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and set course for the granite maze beyond. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. In the Parque da Alameda, riddles start among century-old oaks — and the famous viewpoint framing the cathedral makes an irresistible photo task. Praza do Obradoiro comes next: the square where thousand-kilometre pilgrimages end in tears and blisters. Trivia covers the cathedral facade, the Parador and the pilgrim rituals. Around the corner, Praza da Quintana hides darker tales — its upper and lower halves are known as the quarters of the living and the dead. Give it around two hours, rain or shine (this is Galicia). At the end, the leaderboard reveals which pilgrim earned their compostela.
