Fetch your suitcase, exit the gates of Santiago de Compostela Airport (SCQ-Lavacolla), and collect your rental car. Which one you grab the keys to depends on where you’re venturing. If you’ll be primarily driving in downtown Santiago de Compostela, around 6 miles from the terminal, you’ll want something small. A compact car that’s easy to maneuver will be ideal for those busy streets. But with a smorgasbord of things to see, like the gorgeous sandy shores of the surrounding region, you’ll probably be racking up a few miles. A larger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make longer road trips a joy.
