Xardíns da Ferradura
Xardíns da Ferradura is one of Santiago de Compostela’s most charming and elevated green spaces, curving gracefully along the edge of the historic centre. Known for its distinctive horseshoe shape, the garden offers some of the finest panoramic views of the cathedral’s towers, especially at sunset when the city glows with warm light. Its tree‑lined paths, sculpted hedges, and quiet benches create an atmosphere of calm that invites slow walks and unhurried reflection. The garden’s layout blends 19th‑century landscaping with natural contours, giving it both elegance and a sense of openness. Locals and visitors come here to enjoy the scenery, read under the shade of old trees, or simply pause above the city’s rooftops. Xardíns da Ferradura stands out as a peaceful, scenic retreat where Santiago’s beauty can be appreciated from one of its most iconic viewpoints.
Santiago de Compostela SpainThe Xardíns da Ferradura are a formal garden area within Parque da Alameda, located in the heart of Santiago de Compostela, just west of the historic old town, in the city of Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, north‑western Spain. The gardens are set along the Paseo da Ferradura, the tree‑lined walk that circles the outer edge of the Alameda Park, near the Lions Gate and the main entrances off Rúa do Campiño da Ferradura and the Paseo de Raxoi. They lie close to the historic centre, with the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, Plaza del Obradoiro, the Church of San Fructuoso, and the Museo de la Catedral just a short walk away, and they are also adjacent to the university campus and the newer commercial district around the city hall and Galicia’s main government buildings.
