The Museo do Pobo Galego occupies the former Bonaval convent and explores Galician culture and everyday life. This change of use connects architectural heritage with the memory of people. Think about the occupations, ways of living and traditions that shape a region. The building itself is also part of what you are discovering, rather than merely a container.

Santiago de Compostela on a rainy day
Museo do Pobo Galego and the CGAC stand beside Bonaval: choose Galician traditions or contemporary art according to your interests. Check exhibitions and opening before leaving. The park is a break for clearer weather, not a sheltered part of the visit.

Museum and Cathedral separately
The Cathedral Museum can fill a morning, but check the route included in your ticket. The rooftops are outdoors and have separate conditions. The basilica remains a place of worship: do not plan sightseeing during services.
Check the market before going
The food market combines fresh-produce halls and places to eat. Check what will be open on your date: stalls and kitchens may keep different hours. Connections between the market, arcades and squares remain exposed to rain; wear shoes suited to wet stone.
