SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA There are 140 cities in the world that are called Santiago. 8 of them are called Santiago de Compostela, the main one, and for which the other 7 were baptized, is the capital of the region of Galicia, northwest of Spain. It is the culmination of the route of Santiago or Jacobean Route, and where it is said that the remains of the apostle Santiago lie (in the cathedral of Santiago, obviously). Compostela was a word that intrigued me since I was a child, because I live in Santiago de Nueva Extremadura and at school we were always taught the most outstanding Santiago on the planet, but never their meanings. Compostela may come from the Latin expression. campus stelae meaning 'field of stars' by the legend that supposes that a star appeared to the Hispanic Visigothic nobleman Teodomiro (s. VIII) who pointed out that place to him. Second option, unlikely to be derived from dust, 'debris' and steel, 'iron or mining', i.e. iron debris. Another possibility is the diminutive -ella, as in civitatella (citadel) on the word compost (put totally, also fertilizer). The other 7 Compostela are in one in Portugal, 3 in Mexico and 3 in the Philippines
