Santiago de Compostela car hires from £5/day

This is an old city with narrow lanes and limited parking opportunities inside the center. A compact car is definitely a wise choice, as it will allow you to whizz in and out of the city easier, maneuver tight corners, or squeeze into a small parking spot. Most cars in Spain are stick shifts, so, if you are not used to driving a manual car, be prepared to pay a little extra for an automatic one.

In Spain, speed limits are given in km/h but, as the speedometer will also be in km/h, it should be no problem. Generally, and unless indicated otherwise, 50 km/h (31 mph) is allowed to drive in the city center. On single carriageway roads, 90 km/h (55 mph) can be driven and up to 120 km/h (75 mph) is allowed on highways.

The closer you get to the center, the more expensive and difficult parking becomes. On-street parking is often metered, so check for signs and meters. The easiest way to ensure reliable parking is to opt for a hotel with it included, but there are also public parking lots like the Parking Municipal Santiago or Parking San Fernando, among others.
